Bird of the Week: Northern Mockingbird
Thursday June 11, 2009
Perhaps a more appropriate name for this week’s featured bird, the northern mockingbird, would be the northern mimicbird, since its wide vocal repertoire can include songs from more than 50 other bird species. Mockingbirds have even been known to mimic music, machinery and human whistling, and each individual bird’s range of vocalizations is related to its age and experiences. With such a capacity for learning and memory, there is nothing to mock about the mockingbird!
