The Mocking Bird is the State bird for Arkansas,
Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida

With keen discernment- I, your Northern Mockingbird, can recall you as a threat from past encounters. Known as 'many-tongued mimic' I mock the songs of birds and frogs. My songs are diverse and long- some twenty seconds- compiled from the sounds I hear. Honored and tagged as State bird for five U.S. States- you'll find me in books and songs.
