The Northern Mockingbird is an impressive singer! Theyβre common throughout the US. And also parts of Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands. Northern Mockingbirds get their name because of how they mimic the songs of other birds. In fact, theyβve also been known to mimic the sounds of cell phones, car alarms, or whatever else catches their ear! The male Northern Mockingbird does this to impress females. The more sounds heβs able to include in his song, the more likely he is to win her attention. You may have noticed a Northern Mockingbird singing in the background as Iβve been talking. Have a listen to what heβs got to sayβ¦
A Northern Mockingbird singing his heart out. Thanks for lending an Ear to the Wild. Iβm Jack Hines.
