Northern Mockingbird In Palm Tree (Mimus polyglottos)

Near My Home

Southwest Florida

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.

 

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.

 

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 is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). – Wikipedia
