Not likely feeding young. The egg date starts on March 30. George >>> Fran Saunders <saunderf@ARI.Net> 01/05/99 05:23pm >>> Funny you should all mention unusual Mockingbird behavior. I recently received the following: I have been feeeding birds in Beltsville for many years. I feed the Mockingbirds raisins. I usually don't get much activity in the winter. For the last few days a male and female have been beging at my back door. This is the routine in spring. Could they be feeding babys now? Any comments???
