I have a mockingbird story I just have to tell. Many years ago we were visiting family in Lexington, and stayed at the Kentucky Horse Park campground. At the entrance the staff had a hut with a pointy roof. At the top of the roof sat a mockingbird, singing its crazy succession of melodies at the top of its voice. My wife and I were sure it was a robotic bird, like you'd see at Disney World - until it flew away. (Being from N.H. and Norway, we'd never seen or heard a mockingbird before.)
I'm sorry they eat tomatoes, but I can't help but being charmed by them.
