How to Speak Mockingbird! The Northern Mockingbird is a small bird about the size of a Blue Jay. And they can have around 200 different songs, none of which is truly their own.

And a “chew” call when scaring off large predators.What are the mockingbirds saying near you? #naturalists #naturalistlife #naturalistic #natureeducation #birdsong #northernmockingbird #mockingbird #sounds
