I had no idea for some reason that starlings mimicked sounds, and I was outside trying to take down the christmas lights when I heard, in quick succession: grackles, a bobwhite, robins, several red-tailed hawk cries in quick succession, and at least ten other birds, followed by meowing.
I look and in the neighbor’s tree there are six starlings doing rapid-fire imitations of Every Bird. They were good, too.
Now I wonder how many times I’ve heard a bird and it was just a starling.
Any one of you could be a starling…
