Northern Mockingbird Calls
ADVERTISEMENT
I live in a densely populated inner city. I hear a mockingbird but can’t tell where it is. How far does their song travel on a quiet Saturday morning?
Chico, CA, This bird sings to me every morning while I work in my garden. He/she is very difficult to catch a glimpse of! Finally saw it take flight and identified the white tipped wing. Love his songs!
I have a mocking bird nesting in my hibiscus plant that stands over 7 foot high. I’m in Yulee Florida. This birds songs can be heard in my house. She has laid 3 eggs so far.
Have 2 that come to my feeder in Claremont NH. They pick suet and seeds.
I have a mockingbird that has nested in a tree near my office window for a couple of years. He is quite a chatterbox! and sounds NOTHING like the posted recording. He really is a "mocking" bird as I have noticed a couple other species calling and he has clearly adopted their songs into his repertoire. He can go on and on, 5-15 minutes. Some of the fragments are quite lyrical. It's also fun that he jumps into the air, fans his wings for a few flaps, showing off the white patches underneath, then lands in the same spot. That's finally how I identified him.
Eastern TN. He just came back yesterday. There was a pair of cardinals considering this tree over the last week, but I think he's claiming it back.
