Folks,

OK, I know its not a Mocker, but Jim opened the door to other mimics.  And I
am amazed at this one.

I'm at Bombay last spring, late April I think.  I am walking that little strip
near Bear Swamp that has a couple of owl boxes hoping for a Screech or Barn.
Then I hear it.

A Gray-cheek Thrush singing.

Only its a Brown Thrasher.  The bird was 20 feet in front of me doing a damn
fine Gray-cheek.

Where did it learn that?
