[Ben Griffon <bengriffon@xxxxxxxxx>]

On my way into work this morning, a mockingbird was
singing on a lamp post. In quick succession, he
imitated an Eastern Phoebe, Great Crested Flycatcher,
Carolina Wren, Killdeer, and Red-Headed Woodpecker.
The woodpecker and flycatcher calls were almost
identical to the real thing.
