A mockingbird bravely built a nest on the side of one of our palm trees. We wondered how safe the hatchlings would be on such a precarious perch and sure enough, it wasn't long before one of them was on the ground. He seems to be quite close to taking flight and it was difficult to take his photo because his mother remains nearby at all times, feeding him and attacking anyone who dares to approach him. I can't imagine trying to 'rescue' him. We'll just continue to feed her so she won't have to leave his side and hopefully he'll be able to take to the skies on his own very soon.
