Description
Mockers are large, gray, handsome birds, with flashy white markings. Cheerful and noisy, they like to sit in trees and carry on a kind of musical invasion. They sing other birds' songs, in long virtuoso performances. Mockingbirds, if you would believe them, are the entire avian community. Both sexes sing, though it's usually unmated males who are the loudest. Skilled mimics, a mocker can sing another bird's song well enough to fool an accomplished birder -- though actual birds seldom seem to be taken in. A male mocker can learn as many as 200 distinct songs in its decade-long typical life span, including not just other birds' songs but other animals.
Taken in Wellesley, MA
