Participant Photo: Northern Mockingbird with oranges

Unhappy Northern Mockingbird placated after 180 Bohemian waxwings denuded crab apple trees and fruit-bearing bushes despite his efforts to drive them away. A rare bird report to go with Mockingbird from Moncton, N.B., although this bird has lived in our yard for years. We watched him feed his young on our back porch last spring.
