I had a little time on my hands, and decided to check out youtube to see if I could locate any nocturnal mockingbird videos. I found a lot of them, but the two that follow blew my mind. enjoy ...

These two in particular exemplify the astounding variety of sounds mockingbirds are capable of imitating, in addition to stealing the songs of all the other birds. Car alarms, cell phone ringtones, ambulance sirens and other man-made sounds are becoming more and more frequent repertoire for these incredible birds.
