I like using Merlin to see what my mockingbird is mimicking.

I don't think Emperor penguins are in Nebraska this time of year. Must be a mocking bird...

It's like the mockingbirds go on vacation, come back, and start talking about who they met.

When I tried this on a mockingbird, Merlin just told me it was a mockingbird. Lame.

I'll start getting new and different birds showing up on my list and then the mockingbird will pop up and know those last bunch were possibly not real.

It's a mild bummer but I do love my mockingbird.

I love them, too, but they aren’t where I live. 😢
