My Bachelor Mockingbird really needs a date!!

It is 2 am. I am not asleep, I am instead listening to the cheep cheep whirrr chirrup chirrup of a mockingbird. During daylight this sounds is mystical, virtuosic and maybe even fascinating. But at 2am I feel filled with a desire to ring the neck of the little warbling bastard.

Resisting the urge to do just that, coupled with my eternal disdain for climbing trees - day or night - I resorted to google to try to find out why this little bugger is torturing me so. Google turned up trumps. I found this article explaining that my night visitor is a lonely pitiful bachelor trying with all his might (and lungs) to lure a female mockingbird to share his empty nest. I feel sad for the little fella. Yet I am wondering where the hell are all the female mockingbirds in this town? If I can't sleep through all this racket how the hell can they AND they actually have the power to shut the wee bastard up and let the rest of the world get some sleep.

Not that I wish any harm to come to him ... but where the hell are all the stray feral cats when you need them. I'd quite happily pay one to climb that feathered menace's tree right now!!!

chir chirrup cheep squeal .... can't even decide on a tune ... sheesh ... is there no end to his mockery

Funny how the most beautiful creatures lose their appeal when they wake you up night after night.

I'm a journalist with the UK-based Emigrate America newspaper, and I'm currently writing an article on how climate change will effect America. I've really enjoyed reading you blog, and was wondering if you could find the time to comment for my article? I can publicise you blog alongside the piece if you would like that.

I'd really like the know how you think the extreme weather conditions New Orleans experiences have effected the city, what it's like to live with the constant threat of flooding, and how you see the future of New Orleans. Anything else you have to say generally on the subject would also be very welcome.

My email address is hanna.lindon@outboundmedia.co.uk.

Thanks so much, I hope to hear from you.
