identify that bird






There's a bird around here that sings some beautiful songs that we really love. It has several different calls. On an somewhat unrelated note, I have some extra photographic prints from an art show I did a while back. What do these two random thoughts have in common? The first person to comment and correctly identify the bird in the above images (genus and species) gets a free fine art print (of my choosing, but I'll give you some options), matted and signed by yours truly, mailed to them. Go!




Also, some adorable pig pictures.

  1. That's an Eastern Mockingbird. (I'd have to look up the genus and species, but birds are the only type of life form that, at least in the U.S., can go by common name only since the birders got together and came up with one official common name for each.) They get their name because they mimic other birds' songs, thus the variety.

    1. Interesting, I didn't know that about birds! Pick a theme: surfing, horses, pretty girls on the beach, fishies, grimy bathrooms, elephants, or Vegas. :)

  2. Northern Mockingbird? They have many different calls and obviously they mimic... Hopefully I'm right! My email is 3kk@comcast.net

    1. Thanks, Andrea! Send me your address (sarahnoce@gmail.com), and I'll send you a print anyway once Anna chooses her theme. ;)
