Media notes
The best mimid I've ever heard. The only species you can hear in this that are separate are the baltimore oriole and chipping sparrow. The killdeer, vireos, american robin, scarlet tanager, yellow-breasted chats, bg gnatcatchers, white breasted nuthatch, multiple woodpecker interaction calls, northern flicker, blue jays, eastern phoebe, and more are all mimicked by the mockingbird. He was right next to me and I have heard a lot of mimickry over time and if I was not looking at him, and they weren't all in the order one at a time, I would have been convinced these were all the species that he copied because he even managed to "throw" his voice somehow where sounds came from various directions. Really cool to watch him and listen.
