Guest - Mar 29, 2005 05:05 AM EDT Thank you, Carol. The bird had scooped water into its beak and tilted his head back to swallow.

Guest - Dec 30, 2004 05:33 AM EDT Thanks for commenting. They are about the size of a robin but not as full-bodied. They copy calls of other birds, hence the name.
Guest - Dec 29, 2004 09:08 AM EDT this is pretty, have never seen a mockingbird before. How big are these birds? about the size of a North American robin, or larger?
Guest - Dec 29, 2004 07:33 AM EDT I have had the chance to hand raise a couple of these birds--they become quite tame, but they can be aggressive towards other birds. Thank you for commenting.
Guest - Dec 23, 2004 12:25 PM EDT This mockingbird is a great closeup. I really like it and it taught me the state bird of my neighboring state.
