Useful Hints

• The male and female construct the nest together; the male usually begins the nest with the outer foundation while the female finishes up the inner lining.
• Northern Mockingbirds rarely ever reuse their nests.
• In the beginning of the nesting season mockingbirds can take more than two weeks to finish a nest, but later in the season they can build a nest in as little as three days, laying an egg on the day the nest is completed.
