Northern Mockingbird

These pictures were taken on 27th December, 2007 at the Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park, Texas. Mockingbirds can be very aggressive, especially at feeding stations. On the day I took these pictures, I had difficulty getting pictures of anything other than this Mockingbird because it would attack any and all birds that came close to the peanut butter I had spread on a branch. It was a severe attack including pulling feathers out of any bird that came close.
