I have a few pictures sitting around that I'm still not sure on. They are all different individuals (or at least all seen at different times, on different dates, although in the same place; the last two could be the same bird, for all I know) seen in PA. Seen Feb 19, May 11, and May 19, respectively. The overall size and tail barring make me think ...

I don't wish to be offensive, just hopefully helpful. Forgetting for the moment whether or not it would be legal to be in possession of a young mockingbird, bringing it to a wildlife rehabilitator is probably his best bet for survival.

I've tried the C&S ''High Energy'' Nut and Seed suet, but it seemed only the Starlings went for that. The C&S ''Peanut Delight'' Suet has had Downy & Hairy Woodpeckers, (I've yet to entice the Flickers up from the yard, and I ...

I'm still fairly new to birding, but it looks to be a Red-Shouldered Hawk. =)

He was incessantly making this rattlesnake-like sound. (mp3 attatched) It doesn't match House Wren sounds on Cornell's ''All About Birds'', but it does match the description of ''House Wrens make a variety of harsh sounds: churrs, chatters, rattles, and scolds.'' Thanks for your help. =)

-Pennsylvania, yesterday -along a lightly wooded trail, near a stream -was hopping about quite energetically in a bush I also have a sound file if need be.
