The mourning doves are back. There's one cooing outside my window right now.

Still no sign of the mockingbirds, though...

You have mockingbirds at your place? Do they do the car alarm thing?

[desert_dreamer]

Mockingbirds live all throughout California, but apparently they fly south for the winter. During the summer, you can hear them singing all night, every night. Haven't you ever noticed the birds singing at night during the summer? That's them.

I have no idea what you mean by the 'car alarm thing,' though. What's that?

I would venture to guess that they "mock" car alarms, no?

[desert_dreamer]

Oh, I never even thought of that!

Makes me wonder how many of the car alarms I hear on summer nights are actual car alarms, and how many are mockingbirds. ;)
