Northern Mockingbird

            Near My Home

Florida, USA

A northern mockingbird photographed in my front yard in a palm tree by my picture window. The bird sang for me for three consecutive days. The shot was taken in partial shade. My images will be closer to home for a while. 

The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. 

This species has rarely been observed in Europe. The northern mockingbird is known for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, "many-tongued mimic". 

The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. 

The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. 

The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The mockingbird is influential in United States culture, being the state bird of five states, appearing in book titles, songs and lullabies, and making other appearances in popular culture. – Wikipedia
