Mimus polyglottos
The Northern mockingbird is an omnivore. The birds' diet consists of arthropods, earthworms, berries, fruits, seeds, and rarely lizards. Their diet heavily consists of animal prey during the breeding season, but takes a drastic shift to fruits during the fall and winter. They forage on the ground or in vegetation; they also fly down from a perch to capture food. While foraging, they frequently spread their wings in a peculiar two-step motion to display the white patches.
