Northern MockingBird

A different name for the NothernMockingBird is Mimus polyglottos Socorro. Northern Mockingbirds are medium-sized, grey-backed slim birds with pale breasts and light bellies. Males average slightly larger than females. They are between 22 to 25.5 centimeters long and 51 grams in weight. Females, while similarly plumed, average between 20.8 to 23.5 centimeters in length and approximately 47 grams in weight. Male and female Northern Mockingbird looks the same. The only way to tell the difference is the size of the male being slightly bigger. The Northern Mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and the Greater Antilles. Female mockingbirds do not sing as much as the males do, and they are much quieter as well. A male mockingbird can learn up to 200 different songs.
