To Kill a Mockingbird is a 1962 American drama film directed by Robert Mulligan. The screenplay by Horton Foote is based on Harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. It stars Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch and Mary Badham as Scout.

Andy would remember Gregory Peck I would assume!

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Everyone already knew this but you. Did you ever actually see the movie? Or, God forbid, read the book?

You have to ruin EVERYthing with the obvious cut-and-paste, don't you?

This is possibly the one thing you do that annoys me the most.

You can never just let it go, can you?

Mockingbird?
We have a mockingbird here that sings almost all night. He's never loud enough to hear from indoors, and so doesn't really bother anyone, but I've sat on my patio at night listening to him. He likes to sit on the top of a telephone pole and sing for hours. I think he's looking for a mate, as his location slightly changes night to night.

Don't you just wish he will find her?

I loved watching the squirrels bury the peanuts while being watched by the blue jays who would then take the peanuts away
there was a squirrel I named short tail who would greet me at my doorstep most days and a couple of jays who would perch on my railing waiting for some peanuts
but now the crows have dominated
very smart birds
once in awhile a chicken hawk will land in my yard
When I was a child living in Philadelphia with my grandparents, we would sit in the backyard in the afternoon feeding squirrels out of a huge bag of peanuts. They would come up and take them out of your hand.

I like to experience being part of the circle of life, from the mockingbird singing to watching quail parents hustle their brood from house to house looking for food to seeing young children grow up in my neighborhood. It grounds me when I start to feel like nothing is important anymore.

there are a couple of blue jays who would eat out of my hand
when you get that close to them you realize how beautiful they are
the crows in my yard seem wary
for a good read I recommend The gift of the Crows

Robins have admirable confidence.

On the rare occasions I do gardening, there is often one sitting on the fence unruffled by my presence.

I just never equated Robins with confidence

I do get an occasional Robin in my yard
