Mockingbird in flight

(I'm surprised Deborah didn't point out the picture wasn't a mockingbird! Updated to have the right picture...)

It just occurred to me looking at this post that the meaning of mocking in this context isn't in use as much these days as it was when this bird likely got its name. The first thing I'll bet most people today think of is "making fun of" rather than simply "immitating."

You're probably right. And mockingbirds' aggressive behavior probably doesn't help!

Not a mocker - guess I wasn't payin' attention! 10 lashes with a binocular strap for me!

Not even in flight! It was this pretty brown one!
