And I'm sure it's not only mockingbirds, although they're intelligent birds. I sit on my glider on my deck daily, or do gardening chores right near it, sometimes for hours at a stretch. Only 8 feet above me is a nest of house finches and their babies. They hardly give me a glance as we go about our business, but if my husband comes out walking around they become agitated and nervous. You figure, if they can tell each other apart when they look identical, and they are obviously so sensitive to colors, it wouldn't be hard for them to tell people apart.
