Birds of California

  • Northern Mockingbird Mimus polyglottos

    Endless strings of borrowed phrases, each repeated three or more times, often all night.

  • California Thrasher Toxostoma redivivum

    A loud, rambling song of rich phrases, each repeated once or twice, from the top of a bush.

Birds of Eastern North America

  • Gray Catbird Dumetella carolinensis

    A rambling, scratchy jumble of notes, each sung once, and a cat-like mew call.

  • Brown Thrasher Toxostoma rufum

    A long song of varied phrases, each usually sung twice: plant-a-seed, plant-a-seed.
