About this title

Review:

Few birdlovers could resist this elegant volume. A beautifully designed book, filled with color photographs and illustrations paying tribute to the state bird of Texas--as well as Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee. . . . There's a great deal of information in this slim volume, and its attractive packaging would make it a fine gift for any birder. This is a book which might be best placed into its own category of being an 'everything you wanted to know' about the Northern Mockingbird Mimus polyglottos, but never knew enough to ask. . . . Included in the book is not only the usual kind of information on life history and distribution, but also information on its relationship with man--as cage bird, artistic influence, folklore and myth and as a sort of 'Everyman's hero.' All in all, a unique tribute to an interesting bird.

Synopsis:

Describes the characteristics, behavior, and range of the mockingbird, and explains how they find food, establish territories, and raise their young.
