Activity 3: I have spent more time listening to the birds in my area (central Florida). I have identified the more common ones: Northern Mockingbird, cardinal, Sandhill Crane. It is interesting to know that they have different songs and calls for different activities! I appreciate the audio clips provided so that I can listen and check.

I was watching a Northern Mockingbird in my neighbor's shrub ground area tonight. The mockingbird flashed its white wing bands, hopped a bit farther, and repeated this action 4 or 5 times. Mockingbirds are very common in central Florida but I had not seen this behavior. I read that some feel they may be trying to startle insects in order to flesh them out for eating. Any other reasons for this behavior?

I used Merlin to identify 3 birds that I have seen recently in central Florida: Swallow-tail Kite, Palm Warbler, and Brown Thrasher. I see numerous herons and egrets in my area so want to work at identifying them.
