Love the scent of Mock Orange blossoms this time of year

As I was about to photograph one Northern Mockingbird, a second one swooped into the view finder. So, much to my surprise, I was able to get two for one!

I found a nest of mocking bird babies in my Rose bush. I just had to get a photo or two of them, it wasn’t easy because momma and papa kept trying to swoop down and peck me combine that with the thorns from the rose bush and it was an experience.
