Last week Ken and I heard a bird at Centennial Park repeating a unique melody -- it was so catchy I'm *still* humming it. In fact, it was such a lovely and unusual song that I wrote three verses so I could sing it too! It sounded like an Oriole, but to my surprise when I found the bird -- still singing the same song -- it was a Mockingbird. He sang it steadily for almost two minutes -- apparently he liked it too! Yesterday at Centennial we whistled the song over and over to every Mockingbird we saw, but none of them sang it back to us ... much to our disappointment.
