A northern mockingbird is living up to its name by heading up the north shore this morning. Bird is hanging about in small trees and grass near the intersection of Baraga Cross Rd. and Highway 61 in Schroeder. Has perched on the fence above highway rest stop on north side of road, and poked about small woods on the lake side. One bold chickadee inspected the mocker and evidently decided it was not a shrike since the chickadee did not start any mobbing or alarm behavior. Mockingbird was singing softly at times.
