The mockingbird was perched on the passenger-side sideview mirror, and would periodically leap into the air a couple feet and lunge at its reflection in the window or mirror as it fluttered back down. It did this repeatedly, lost its focus for a second and clung to the radio antenna briefly, then began the whole production again. It was intent upon vanquishing this mimicking "foe" it saw in the window and mirror, at all costs.
