One of the neighborhood mockingbirds is really going to town this morning. Not sure how many different songs he can sing bt he knows a bunch. Here are the birds that he has mimicked that I have been able to recognize.
Eastern Bluebird Tufted Titmouse Blue Jay Eastern Phoebe Carolina Wren Northern Cardinal Red-shouldered Hawk European Starling (also a good mimic) Killdeer
Female mockingbirds have a preference for males that can sing the largest number of different songs. Some males know up to 200 different songs.
