My first Eastern Phoebe this fall!
The unmistakable call was coming from one of the trees by the lake, so I started looking for it. Suddenly, he flew out and perched in full view 🧡 🪶

I imagine that if a Mockingbird is imitating a Norther cardinal, for example, birds of other species may or may not be able to tell the difference, but perhaps the Mockingbird can't fool a cardinal? It's sure worth some research to find out.

Surely, birds are aware of other birds around them. They need to find mates, tend to their offspring, defend territory, watch out for predators, etc. Or do you wonder if they're fooled by the mockingbird's imitations? It's interesting that we think so much about what goes on in birds' brains!

Here's another contribution to #Beakful. As this Starling shows, it's not always about food! 🪺

I thought this Cedar waxwing had bit more than it could chew, but it proved me wrong!
