Northern Mockingbird

This was one of the first birds we spotted when we moved here that wasn't one of the usual suspects (cardinals, jays, chickadees, blackbirds, mourning doves etc). We've seen the Northern Mockingbird a total of three times. He seems to be around for just an hour or so, feeding and then moving on. The last sighting was in mid-December. He has a very distinctive tail, so it's not too hard to miss. Apparently they are fairly common, just not around our house :) They are reknown for their song and will sing all day and even into the night. I read this interesting fact too:
"A Northern Mockingbird continues to add new sounds to its song repertoire throughout its life", which I think it pretty cool too.
