A couple of days ago at school, I was traveling between buildings and clearly heard a bird singing it’s little head off. I looked around to find it, and it was directly over the door I was about to enter. I stopped to listen for a while and was amazed at the crazy variety in its song. I recorded it.
While switching my camera from video to picture, the bird flew into a tree. I think it was a mockingbird. It looks like the internet pictures of mockingbirds. I liked it. If I was going to have a bird singing outside my bedroom window early in the morning, I think I would choose a mockingbird, because at least I’d have some variety that way.
And here is the singing:
A Mocking Bird! How pleasant.
My favorite songs are around 0:46 and 0:58. Give or take a second. And I, too, love the variation in song.
Then I started singing this in my head:

And now I hate you for your post.
……and I started singing this: sigh

Somehow, the Carly Simon-James Taylor version will never sound the same. Thanks so much.
Why does that bird remind me of chatter at a baseball game? “Hey, batter batter batter. C’mon! Look alive!”
Cool video. I’m glad you took it. 🙂
Toward the end there I was actually hearing the same familiar redundancy, Lauren! In the beginning I thought it was more like, “Only three more weeks…only two more weeks…of school – school – school!” Maybe that was just wishful thinking, though
That picture you captured of him is excellent!! And I love how he just sits on the roof singing away, without a care in the world. Maybe I should try that!
And while we’re speaking of birds:
