State Bird of Texas

The mocking bird is the State Bird of Texas and probably my favorite song bird in the area. They are relatively fearless and sometimes curious like this one in Hermann Park on a bench. The mocker is a loud and vocal singer that mimics other birds. Mocking birds will aggressively defend their nests against cats, dogs, and if necessary paper boys as I can attest.
