It’s Embarrassing when You’re Missing a Tail!

Posted

There’s a mockingbird that hangs out at the entrance to Fox Hunt a lot these days.  He has no tail!  We wondered if he lost it in a fight with one of the crows or other big birds (hint: if you see a tiny bird flying after a big bird and fussing, it’s likely that the little bird is a mockingbird!)  This little guy  seems to have balance issues when he lands — his center of gravity is totally off.  He also seems to have to compensate for balance when he goes hunting and puts out his wings to help him catch his dinner.  We hope his tail grows back soon…
