Florida State Bird - Mockingbird The common mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is a superb songbird and mimic. Its own song has a pleasant lilt, varied and repetitive. Often it will sing all night long, especially in bright springtime moonlight. All ten species of mockingbirds are virtually alike in form: about 10" in length, with a 15" wingspan, grayish upper portions, white undersides, and white patches on the tail and wings. The female has slightly less whiteness.The nest, a joint male/female project, is a bulky, open cup of grass, twigs and rootlets carelessly arranged in a dense tree of bush. The 3-6 eggs per nest are a pale blue-greenish with brown spots. This year-round Florida resident is known for its fierce defense of the family nest.
