A mockingbird grazes University of Florida biology major Devon Duffy, in Gainesville, Fla., in an attempt to drive her away from its nest on the university campus. Mockingbirds may look pretty much alike to people, but they can tell us apart and are quick to react to folks they don’t like. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/University of Florida, Lou Guillette)

John, its also one of my favorites.
