Friday Feathers
The Northern Mockingbird is very animated and performs an elaborate mating dance. Pairs run toward each other flashing wing patches and then retreat to cover nearby.
Sits for long periods of time on top of a shrub and imitates other birds (vocal mimicry), hence the common name. Young males often sing at night.
Often unafraid of people, allowing for close observation.
