We've had the pleasure of a northern mockingbird in our garden for some time
now. This week we noticed no visitors to our feeders. Then we discovered the
mockingbird was attacking any bird that tried to visit our feeders. 

This included a red-bellied woodpecker and a few blue jays. One poor
mourning dove lost a number of its tail feathers, being a little on the slow
side.

We have a few junipers and evergreens with berries. Has anyone ever seen
this territorial aggressiveness before?
