Jim Griffin also showed me a Mockingbird in his front lawn, The bird appeared to be a juvenile (streaked breast) and we watched it forage in Jims front lawn, wing-flicking animatedly and constantly. Jim had also seen the bird the day before (18 Aug). 20 Aug An unusually cool, overcast day, but very pleasant. Watched a little at Road 3 and Finch in the morning. More or less piddled around in the afternoon, watering the garden at Red House (Pam & Walt away), fixing my boots, washing clothes,
