Mockingbird

Mockingbird, the state bird of Arkansas, is the common name for birds that inhabit North, Central, and South America. The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is a popular mimic, combining notes of its own song with imitations of other birds. It is about 25 cm (about 10 in) long, gray on top, and grayish-white to white underneath, with white markings on the black wings and tail. The bird uses its slender bill to feed on insects, seeds, and fruits.
