We have a small log hanging from our front porch. It has holes drilled in
it, I put a peanut butter/seed mix in the holes, and twice in the past two
days I've seen a northern mockingbird hanging on to it, feeding, and doing
a fair bit of fluttering in the process as well. It seemed to be the same
one as it had a white wing feather askew. At least one mockingbird hangs
around our property but tends to keep a pretty low profile. It's the first
time I've seen it (or one) at one of our feeders although last winter a
mockingbird ate berries from a bundle of winterberry branches on the porch.
Also this afternoon at 3:40 were 26 cedar waxwings in a tree in front of
West Holmes Middle School 7 miles west of Millersburg in Holmes County.
They appeared (in the sunshine and at a fairly close distance) to all be
cedars but I didn't have my binoculars.
