I encountered all three mimids this morning before I was halfway down the driveway to fetch the newspaper (admittedly it's a longish driveway). The nearby mockingbird was showing off his repertoire, which features excellent towhee and phoebe imitations; lots of catbirds were dashing about; and an adult Brown Thrasher was perched quietly near its equally silent fledgling.
