Northern Mockingbird

A medium-sized songbird, the Northern Mockingbird is a bit more slender than a thrush and with a longer tail. Mockingbirds have small heads, a long thin bill with a hint of a downward curve, and long legs. Their wings are short, rounded, and broad, making the tail seem particulars long in flight.

Mockingbirds are overall gray-brown, paler on the breast and belly, with two white wing bars on each wing. A white patch in each wing is often visible on perched birds, and in flight, these become large white flashes. The white outer tail feathers are also flashy in flight.
