Thank you Bob for the info on what the mockingbirds were eating.   Hearing
about the habitats that birds are being found in, whatever the season and
the wild food items they are feasting on is what I relish (no pun
intended).  Working for a land management agency and contributing to the
prescriptions on how we manage the land finds me savoring this type of info
from the list .   Good Luck on finding the ferruginous hawk.

Our usual one over-wintering mockingbird, seasonally silent, is feeding on
rose hips,
bittersweet, etc. around the edge of our successional field on the back
ridge.

(Currently in southern California, where I unsuccessfully sought my lifer
ferruginous hawk
this morning. There is one that has been hanging out at an abandoned Marine
airbase
nearby.)
