Wrapping up a hike through Headwaters Community Park, we spotted a Northern Mockingbird fly to a rooftop and put on a song list that spanned the likes of 10 species. Very entertaining, we introduced several folks to birding as many stopped to listen. The white patches on the wing really stood out in the fading sun as it flew to the roof top....
