Mockingbird

My son and I were listening to a mockingbird in the backyard this afternoon. Mockingbirds can have an amazing repertoire. I was reminded of one that I heard when I lived in Boston. He did a very clear imitation of a car alarm going off (Whee-oop Whee-oop Whee-oop Whee-oop. Dooooouuuuiiip. Dooooouuuuiiip. Rannt Rannt Rannt Rannt Rannt…). Funny and amazing. Apparently other people have heard the same sort of thing.
