@SusanEllison Since the visual simularity is so obvious I've changed the ID into Mocking bird. If anyone feels it's wrong, please let me know.
well mocking birds do mock...maybe it is mocking some sounds that it heard...they just imidate noises of other birds. I am not sure of the stutter...maybe an expert can come in on this one.
@SusanEllison I sure does look like a mocking bird, but it didn't sound like one at all. Where a Mocking bird can really sing, this one could only 'stutter'.
Could that be due to season, sex, or time of day?
