This bird's famous song, with its varied repetitions and artful imitations, is heard all day during nesting season (and often all night as well). Very common in towns and cities, especially in southern areas, the Northern Mockingbird often seeks insects on open lawns. When running in the open, it may stop every few feet and partly spread its wings, flashing the white wing patches. Northern Mockingbirds are bold in defense of their nests, attacking cats and even humans that venture too close.
