Two years ago, I wrote about being fooled by a mockingbird into repeatedly answering a phone that wasn’t ringing. This morning, I got up when my alarm went off, but it wasn’t my alarm ringing at all. It was the bird. He’s back. It has to be the same one as before, because he remembered the sound of my alarm clock. It’s only a matter of time before he starts imitating our car alarm. When the police arrive to issue us a summons for disturbing the peace, they’re going to have to deliver it to our tree’s current resident. I hope they bring a ladder.
