Northern Mockingbirds, Mimus polyglottos, are members of the Thrasher family, and like other Thrashes are able to mimic whatever sounds they hear - other birds, dogs, cats, etc. They are 'northern' because they have southern cousins in South America.
Have a wonderful day!

Hello,

Take care, have a happy day!
A wonderful, crisp photo!
ReplyDeleteQuite distinctive.
ReplyDeleteThey are always so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen or heard a mockingbird. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteI like mockingbirds!
ReplyDeleteThey are becoming more and more common here, so northern really is appropriate.
ReplyDeleteWonderful birds to have around. I usually have a pair nesting in my yard. I love to listen to them singing, and during mating season they will sing at night.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous little creature! Awesome capture :)
