I was just looking through some photos online and came across this pic of a=
 Mockingbird being fed a tomato. =20

I had never heard of this.  I know they will eat peanut butter mixture beca=
use a friend on Basinview Drive in Bedford was feeding one peanut butter fo=
r a long time on her deck a few years ago.  I spent about 1 1/2 hours on Su=
nday at the Bedford Waterfront watching the Northern Mockingbird and waitin=
g patiently for it to come out in the open so that I could get a good photo=
 but it spent the whole time amongst the multiflora rose branches eating an=
d preening.  I guess I should have had some tomotoes with me.

Also on Sunday at the Bedford Waterfront=2C I met Dennis Garrett.  He had j=
ust seen and photographed a Yellow-breasted Chat in the bushes lining the f=
irst parking lot to your right when you turn off Convoy Run onto Waterfront=
 Drive. Unfortunately I couldn't located the chat=2C nor did I find the Yel=
low-throated Warbler on Sunday.
