\"BahamaBahama Mockingbird portrait<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days ago I posted about the Northern Mockingbird flight display<\/span><\/a> and today I’d like to share two images of Bahama Mockingbirds photographed in the Bahamas in 2009.<\/p>\n

I was on Half Moon Cay as part of a tour and was enchanted by the\u00a0Bahama Mockingbirds and the Bananaquits that I saw there.<\/p>\n

The island was beautiful too and the waters that surround it were inviting, warm, and multiple shades of blues.<\/p>\n

Bahama Mockingbirds are slightly larger than Northern Mockingbirds and are shyer than them too.<\/p>\n

Bahama Mockingbirds are browner than Northern Mockingbirds and they also have dark\u00a0streaking on their rear flanks and undertail coverts along with a dark lateral stripe on their throats.<\/p>\n

I didn’t hear the birds I photographed call much but some of their call can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bahama Mockingbirds occasionally show up in Florida as vagrant, this year one has even shown up on the west coast of Florida.<\/p>\n
