Field Notes

Description:

This mocking bird did not seem at ease while on the ground and was constantly on the move. Once up in the palm tree (or right behind it), it was fairly at ease. It spent some time eating either the fruit or insects in the tree.

Habitat:

Throughout North America.

Notes:

Mockingbirds are known for their ability to imitate other birds.
