The Bronzed Cowbird I previous mentioned that I taped his display apparently lives in my area. He is constantly either at my car outside mirrors or at the one across the street. He bobs up and down while standing in front of the mirror raising his neck feathers and patial lifting of the wings. He is very persistant. Quite a pest!

I just witnessed and got some half way decent pics of the mating of two Knight Anoles. I was walking into the dining room area that has large sliding glass doors. About twelve feet outside these glass doors is my Mango tree. I was startled by the rapid motion of a green Knight Anole running up the main trunk. As I advanced closer to the door I could see it motionless on the trunk and it appeared to have something in its mouth. Once I put on my glasses and got my binoculars, I could see it was the head of another anole but slightly smaller and they were interwined in the mating position. They retained this position for at least 20 minutes. Interesting scenario !!!
