The Northern Mockingbird
Mockingbirds belong to the Family Mimidae. There at least thirty-five known species of mockingbirds in the world, twelve of them in North America. Their species is then sorted into varieties such as Mimus polyglottos, also known as the Northern Mockingbird. Whatever name this vocal songster travels under, it’s for sure that the very title suggests mimicry. The ability to mimic other birds provides quite an advantage to the Northern Mockingbird in fooling its stalkers.
