Hello,
Here in the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville just east of the old 
Cleece's Ferry, I just had the first of yet another nest full of squawking 
mockingbirds land on the deck rail screaming for its parent to feed it some 
peanut 
butter.  Two more babies are in the nest down the hill, and the parents are 
taking 
turns feeding them AND the fledgling that just appeared here.  By tomorrow, 
it will be feeding itself even though it will still beg and squawk for 
attention.

There is still a bumper crop of wild grapes on the massive vine that 
surrounds my deck, and it is literally filled with birds that I seldom see 
because of 
the thick foliage.  It's sure saving on bird food as many of my fruit and seed 
feeders have gone for the grapes instead.
