Dear Cathy, <\/span><\/p>\n

A mockingbird moved into the tree outside my bedroom window.\u00a0 He\/she starts singing around 3 a.m.\u00a0During the day, he\/she sings on top of the light pole in the yard, and every so often he\/she jumps straight up in the air, lands on the pole, and continues singing.\u00a0Is this going to continue throughout the summer?\u00a0 It doesn’t bother us, but we have never heard a Mockingbird sing throughout the day and night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear J,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am not an expert on wild bird behavior, but I am willing to go out on a limb here and say the mockingbird\u2019s continuous song and occasional antics indicates the bird is a \u201che\u201d trying to attract a mate. I am glad you don\u2019t mind the singing since male mockingbirds sing during the day and part of the night for most of the spring and summer. You might even miss this bird\u2019s serenade when summer comes to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n
