Like the Brown Thrasher, Northern Mockingbirds are year-long residents on campus and can be found almost anywhere. As their name implies, Mockingbirds can imitate a wide array of sounds, including other bird songs. The key to distinguishing a Mockingbird's song is to listen for changes following repetitive bursts.
