Recently I posted about the Gray Catbird and their mimicking ability with a video from Cornell Lab of Ornithology comparing their sounds with the bird they’re mimicking. Apparently they mimic to attract a mate. Well let me tell you, my backyard is like a mall full of teenagers on a Friday night right now! Check out this video I took…
Doesn’t that sound crazy?! Except for some crows in the background that is all them! I think it sounds fascinating although I might feel differently if I was trying to sleeping in and that was going on outside my window!

They are so cool sounding! It reminds me of the Hunger Games, and I’m really sorry I just wrote that.

Oh yes, the Mocking Jays – been meaning to look for those ; )
Wow. That takes a lot of talent for that bird to copy so many different other birds! Holy Catbird!

They must be pretty pleased with themselves!
That is a LOT of bird noise going on! I’d say “how fun…” but honestly… that’s cuz I only one minute of video to listen and watch. Not sure how I’d feel about it going on much longer!

That’s funny. They are not that loud. There are grackles around here and they are very loud! They sound like a rusty screen door opening and closing. I am glad they are only occasional visitors!
INCREDIBLE! LOVE IT. THANKS
