The Northern Mockingbird is the official State Bird of Florida.
I could think of more colorful entries for Florida's State Bird, but....
It is also the State Bird of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. It was formerly the State Bird of South Carolina (now the Carolina Wren).
The bird in the picture appears to have only one leg, but one leg is seemingly tucked in, a position many birds use when resting.
This mockingbird was hanging out in the Beauty Bush today. It should have a full belly!
Like the Gray Catbird, mockingbirds are able to differentiate Brown-headed Cowbirds eggs from their own.
The Northern Mockingbird was named the official state bird of Tennessee in 1933.

Mockingbird singing in the pink tabebuia tree in my front yard.
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.
This species has rarely been observed in Europe. 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 breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). – Wikipedia
Northern Mockingbird - Mooresville, North Carolina
This is a better photograph of this species than the one I had previously posted. The previous post was Bird Species (# 102) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.

This Northern Mockingbird was loving the Algerita Berries. This desert plant is really prickly and painful to the touch but the birds don't mind it. He was gulping them down. He almost ate the whole stem he was standing on! These birds are among the most common you see all over Texas but I never tire of them. I love their mimicking calls and pretty songs and they look pretty wonderful too. Of all the birds I shot this common thrasher on this berry tree may just have been my favourite to watch. The Northern Mockingbird is the State bird of Texas.
Taken in Texas Hill Country (My favorite part of TX)
My first capture of this bird. I quite like the amber eyes against the gray plumage ;D
Hope all is well with everyone!
