Mimus polyglottos
A fledgling mockingbird after jumping from the nest
The mockingbird usually resides in fields and forest edges in practically the entire continental United States. It is usually seen in farmlands, roadsides, city parks, suburban areas, and open grassy areas with thickets and brushy deserts. When foraging for food, it prefers short grass. It also has an affinity for mowed lawns. The mockingbird does not nest in densely forested areas.
The mockingbird is the official bird of the great state of Texas.
