I saw this Mockingbird, high up in the tree, singing away while hiking at Fort Hill on Cape Cod. What a pretty photograph with the blue, blue sky in the background!
They are best known for mimicking the songs of other birds often loudly and in rapid succession. Thus they are called the Mockingbird.
Have you ever heard a Mockingbird? They are usually very chatty and let you know they are nearby.
A virtuoso mockingbird used to sit at the peak of my next door neighbor’s roof and serenade us every EARLY summer morning – the windows were open – for what seemed like an hour! 🙂 They’re great! “Ours” even included a “meow” in his repertoire.
How cute!!
