Last night we ate (at Clay Pit) and saw a show (at the Scottish Rite Theater) in the area 'just south of UT.' Next door to Clay Pit (which is itself in a historic native stone building that used to be a store) is a audio studio called Tequila Mockingbird. On the back of their building is this mural of (one presumes) a pesky mockingbird (our state bird) stealing the music. Mockingbirds imitate other birds and can attack other critters. My dad saw one pestering a roadrunner (yes, they do exist outside of cartoons). In any case, the mockingbird is better than a pack of grackles who like to occupy areas in great numbers leaving car owners sorry they parked under trees. Of course, we wouldn't want to meet this giant avian critter on the mural in any case.

I love this mural. I have a mockingbird in my backyard who sounds like a cellphone ringing,a truck backing up , and a firetruck in no particular order. Talk about your urban sprawl!
