[Ontbirds]Mockingbird pair, Vaughn

[Monica Connolly]

While sitting in the Toronto Star building driveway late Wednesday afternoon 
waiting for CAA to replace a blown tire, I saw a Mockingbird with something 
in its mouth in the bushes north of the entranceway. It flew around a 
little, perched on the chain-link fence south of the entrance, and was 
joined a few minutes later by a second one, which had also crossed from the 
north side. The two sat side by side facing the same direction on top of the 
fence for a minute or two.
Directions: East side of Weston Road, directly south of the bridge over 407; 
we had been coming east on 407, took the Weston Road off-ramp which ends at 
the light on Weston Road, and crossed Weston directly into the Star 
driveway.
BTW, the possible Solitaire I partially glimpsed in my Oshawa backyard this 
winter almost certainly was a grubby Mockingbird, as several of you 
suggested; some weeks later I got a good look at an unmistakeable 
Mockingbird in my front yard, and I have a better chance of winning the 
lottery than of seeing both species at this spot! Sorry for any expectations 
raised - myself, I was delighted at the first Mockingbird in the 
neighbourhood.
