"Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
~Harper Lee, "To Kill a Mockingbird"~
Great close up of a Mockingbird. Harper Lee's quote makes me think about how everyone serves a unique purpose in the world, even if it is just to sing our hearts out.
Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the mockingbird. I regret not filming its singing because it gave us quite a concert. For those of you unfamiliar with mockingbirds, they are so named because they mimic the calls of other birds. Here is an Internet clip of one doing so: https://rangerrick.org/rr_videos/listen-to-a-mockingbird-mimic-other-sounds/
