MOCKINGBIRD
(Mimus polyglottos)
Immortalized in music and literature, the lilting song of the Mockingbird
has long been one of the rare delights of nature. The charm and variety
of his song is surpassed by few other birds. True to his name, he delights
in mimicking other birds and has even been known to mimic musical
instruments. The world is his, and he makes himself at home equally
in the small backyard or the open meadowland. One lone Mockingbird
can lift his voice in song in the soft summer moonlight, and soon, from
every corner of the meadow, other birds will wake to join him. The
nest is small and loosely made of twigs, usually located in shrubs or
low trees.
