If there's one bird that might win the "best actor" award in the feathered world, it's the mockingbird. This winged wonder can learn more than 180 songs in just a few months, imitating the calls of other birds but also dog-barking and even car alarms! This is truly one bird to watch and one that readers will love learning about in the pages of this fascinating volume. The journal-like format unites a cheerful narrative about the bird-watching hobby with life-science facts about the mockingbird.
