I will kill it.I will get a gun and I will shoot that bird,&#8221; I said to Jeff. He laughed. I am pretty sure I wasn&#8217;t joking, except for the fact that it&#8217;s<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Migratory_Bird_Treaty_Act_of_1918\"> illegal to kill a mockingbird<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The mockingbird reappeared at three this morning, but it was further away, perhaps widening his search for a love. I read online that this mockingbird is going to continue doing his rendition of every car alarm in my neighborhood until he finds a female that is impressed by his wide range (from Volvo to Hyundai, he&#8217;s got them all down.)<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t help that the moon will be full Wednesday night. It doesn&#8217;t help that it&#8217;s mating season. Something that also doesn&#8217;t help? Scaring the mockingbird away. They&#8217;ll just come back. They&#8217;re quite territorial, you know.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully I&#8217;ll be finding a pair of ear plugs tonight, or hopefully this mockingbird finds a love before I find a bb gun. Either way, I might have to learn how to nap so that I still can get some sleep while this guy belts his little heart out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend a mockingbird decided that my neighborhood would be the perfect place to fly around, find a mate, and maybe start a family.
