mockingbird night song
I camped by a mockingbird this April. Though my book says in the west of the US, they have shorter song cycles, I counted two of this guy's continuous songs and he had 28 and 35 unique (I believe--it's possible he repeated one and I didn't notice) sounds.
On the night of the full moon, he sang all night. (ALLLL night, right outside my window. He apparently liked me, for nothing I did seemed to disturb him, and he perched no less than two feet from me for most of a week) I know that they do sing at night; I was wondering if anyone knew if the moon's phases influenced this--are they less likely to sing all night if it's the new mooon or overcast? |
