Northern Mockingbird

Why shouldn’t you fart in an Apple Store?

They don’t have Windows.

Interesting Fact: Northern mockingbirds tend to imitate other birds and sounds they hear.  This bird is very territorial and will not hesitate to attack intruders.  ( https://americanexpedition.us/northern-mockingbird-facts-photos-and-information )

  2. Great photo! This reminded me of Gary Lewis and The Playboy’s diamond ring song. 🙂

  4. Probably swallow it and then the whole unbelievable story would have to be told to the emergency services and Mama would get locked up. 😀

  10. Love it. I have a few resident ones in my yard and I love watching them feed off the insects on the ground. Heck, sometimes I’ve even caught them feeding in the air.

    • Thank you very much and great idea, maybe I will look in to doing that. I shall give you credit for it if I will make this happen. 🙂

      • Ahh, you’re the best! Keep up the high quality work. It is inspiring for bloggers, such as myself.

  16. We have lots of Mockingbirds, here. Ironically, though, we have a Blue Jay that has learned to imitate the call of Red-Tailed Hawks that nest in a tree in our yard every year.

  23. Beautiful shot!!! We once knew a mocker who added the sound of a car alarm to its repertoire. They are fascinating animals–thanks for sharing!

    • Thank you very much. I am glad that you enjoyed my work, and I am sure that you are able to take photos like that as well. 🙂

  27. Thanks for the like on Early Morning Light at Elm Drive Images.

    • Of coarse it was beautiful, I like to enjoy sunrise it is always so exciting what will the day brings. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my work. 🙂

    • I haven’t heard or seen lyrebird yet, but some day I am planning to make it to Australia and see the amazing wild life. 🙂

  29. thanks for visiting me ! this is a beautiful picture, if I may ! indeed, heard lots of ‘mocking’ when lived in NYC :0

  30. Thank you for liking my post “Walking: a journey with the senses.” This is the first time I am visiting your blog. I like the “interesting fact” that you put at the end of each post. That’s a great idea!

  31. Thanks for liking my post, “The Travel Chest of Travels!” You have some awesome photography here. Glad I stopped by 🙂

    • If that mockingbird don’t sing,
      Mama’s gonna get rid of the useless thing.

      ‘Cause it’ll be jus’ an extra mouth to feed,
      On specialized exotic wild birdseed.

      We could parody this song all day long!

    • Haha that is a good point too, I don’t know what a baby would do with a mockingbird. Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting. 🙂

    • Yes it is, but it is a little funny. They are quite a lookers for sure and I definitely agree about the noise. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂
