Northern Mockingbird Among the Birches

Northern Mockingbirds are slender, long-tailed songbirds found in open woodlands, forest edges, and neighborhood gardens across North America. Recognized by their gray and white plumage and bold white wing patches, they are famous for mimicking the songs of other birds and singing through the day. This watercolor captures a Northern Mockingbird perched on a weathered branch among slender birches, red berries glowing among the green leaves below.
