Do not hear or see Northern Mockingbird much around where I live here in Washington, CT. Just came back from picking up the Sunday newspaper and had a singing Northern Mockingbird by the Washington, CT Town Hall in Washington Depot, CT. The most reliable place locally for me to hear and/or see a Northern Mockingbird. Love their "song".  David W BabingtonWashington, CT

I had a "driveway moment" yesterday in Newington going into a store when I was arrested by hearing in quick succession a blue jay, robin, starling, crow, FISH crow, catbird chatter, tufted titmouse bugle, and then -- the huge giveaway -- a fire engine siren. AAHHAAA!!!!

Northern Mockingbirds were my first bird interest as a kid, being dive-bombed by them while playing in my neighborhood. They seem to be abundant here as well in my Waterford neighborhood with their varied repertoire of song including the calls of a Killdeer, of which there is a family being raised below the tree the mockingbird sings from. They are also abundant at Harkness Memorial State Park here in Waterford.
