On my Brooktondale walk this morning, I encountered all three of our local Mimidae within about 200 yds. on Burns Rd. The BROWN THRASHER was lustily belting out its song in about equal 2 and 3 note segments, with even one segment of 4 notes. The MOCKINGBIRD was blasting out the most vocal renditions of its "songs" that I have ever heard it perform at this location. It sounded like a North Carolina bird. One song was an exact copy of the textbook song of a mourning warbler. I wonder where it picked that up?
