Description
Tennessee selected the mockingbird (genus Mimus polyglottos) as official state bird in 1933, selected from an election conducted by the Tennessee Ornithological Society. Northern Mockingbirds are related to the brown thrasher and the catbird. The northern mockingbird is also the state bird of Florida, Arkansas, Texas, and Mississippi.
Mockingbirds have extraordinary vocal abilities - they can sing up to 200 songs, including their own melodious songs, the songs of other birds, insect and amphibian sounds, even an occasional mechanical noise. The mockingbird is considered one of the finest songbirds in northern America.

VERY cool info on this bird...when we were kids there would be a whippoorwill a certain time of the year us kids would always listen for , until one year we didn't hear of it again.
