Sterlingbird

Here is a young mockingbird that used to make my garden its home.
Mockingbirds have striking yellow eyes.
This one used to trick me outside my bedroom window by mimicking my alarm clock.
It was also talented at mimicking a cat's meow.
I named it my Sterlingbird and took this username as my own on an online garden message board.
This particular bird is long gone from my garden, and I no longer have this username.
However, I remember the inspiration it gifted me.
