Born to Mimic
Northern Mockingbird | Mimus polyglottos
ABOUT THE PHOTO
A Northern Mockingbird strikes a confident pose among bottlebrush blooms, tail fanned and feet planted like it owns the branch. True to its name, this species is famous for mimicking the calls of dozens of other birds — some individuals are known to learn over 150 different songs in a lifetime.
