Northern Mockingbird

..... a lovely elegant bird, that is a favorite of mine so I decided to do a little research on them.   Did you know.......?

  <> Mockingbirds are known for their singing abilities.
  <> A male mockingbird can learn up to 200 different songs.
  <> A mockingbird sings all throughout the day and into the night.
  <> A male sings different songs in the fall than in the spring.
  <> Mockingbirds usually hang out alone or in pairs.
  <> Mockingbirds are monogamous, which means the pair will stay with             each other for life.
  <> A pair of mockingbirds will have 2-3 broods per year.
  <> Northern mockingbirds tend to imitate other birds and sounds they                hear.
<> The mockingbird is the state bird of Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi,                  Florida, and Arkansas
<> President Thomas Jefferson had a pet mockingbird named “Dick.”

Thank you, Google.
