Do mocking birds migrate?
I live in Phoenix, AZ. As a bird watcher, I have observed some of the Northern Mockingbirds in my area over the years. They seem to disappear from Phoenix during the hottest months (over 100F+). I believe they must migrate north to where it is cooler between May and late September. (I have no specific evidence of where they go though so it’s just a guess.) One particular individual bird arrived back to his tree outside my office building entrance this week. I arrived to work Oct 1 to hear his voice singing out his distinctive mockingbird song. Sure enough there he was at the top of his favorite tree.
