[birdky] Mocking bird and oriole

[Evelyn Morgan <one4est@xxxxxxxxx>]

While at my Dad's house on KY 504, I kept hearing what sounded like an oriole.  
We have a pair of Mockingbirds that does not have song of their own.  They have 
a list of songs they sing over, and over, and over all day and sometimes all 
night.  It starts with a perfect Phoebe, then the cardinal, next titmouse, 
chat, white-eye vireo and so on and on.  You don't need a tape to practice for 
spring.  When I heard the oriole, I thought it was our resident songster 
because it sounded off, a bit.  I finally found a second year oriole, and it 
was singing a off key.  It was still mostly yellow, with the black around the 
head.  A first for the year. Also seen and heard Scarlet Tananger, Ovenbird, 
Wood Thrush, Hooded, Red-Eye Vireo and Yellow-throated vireo.  I still have 
white-throated Sparrows singing, a lone junco and a few purple finches.  Saw 
the Pine sikins also.
   
  Happy Birding
