Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, November 2014

Mums, November 13, 2014

As our the weather gets colder, it is more difficult to find plants still blooming.  These Chrysanthemums are the only blooms I have in my northeast Mississippi, US, zone 7 garden.
But considering the blast of cold weather this week (below freezing at night), I am grateful for whatever blooms I can find.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Mockingbirds, November 12, 2014

Wild Bird Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday

Mockingbird perched atop a metal sculpture, September 2013

The Northern Mockingbird, Mimus polyglottos, is known for its ability to mimic other bird songs.  Occasionally you may hear one mimicking a dog's bark, a rooster's crow, or other sounds common in its territory.  During the breeding season, males sing constantly to attract females and to proclaim their territory. They aggressively defend their young, diving at people, cats and anything else they see as a threat.

October 2014

They are year-round residents of the southeastern United States.  Their diet consists of berries, insects, spiders, worms, etc.  You can attract them by filling feeders with suet, raisins, apple slices or bread, and providing a source of water.

I was surprised to see these Wild Violets blooming.  I've always thought of them as Spring flowers.

Have a Beautiful Week-end!
