Mocking Birds
$10.00
Mockingbirds are renowned for their ability to mimic the songs of other songbirds. They serenade the neighborhood for hours in the spring and summer, often at night by the light of a full moon or nearby street light. Mockingbirds can master 180 calls and more than 400 song types in a few months. Their call is a musical burble punctuated with an occasional harsh tone. They are gray/white in color and have beautiful long tails ...... In my world of primitive, these birds come in different colors, have hardly any tail, and just love to be on quilts that I make. What I love is that they originated in the west and south east, but they have edged northward over the last 30 years .... They range from parts of southern Canada to southern Mexico. Do you suppose it was the mockingbirds that were calling my family south all those years ago?
