Mocking Bird Feeds At Stephens City Home All Winter
Mrs. C. O. Watson of Stephens City reports she feeds a mocking bird for a third straight winter. The bird arrives in fall, loses its voice through winter, enjoys music from her radio, and acts as a storm barometer by chirping before rain. It stays at the Watson home year round and may have a mate unseen. The bird tolerates temporary song loss, while its repertoire blends various local birds with its own distinctive notes.
