Decades ago there was a popular song with the lyrics "listen to the mockingbird singing all day long". Until recently I didn't truly appreciate those words.
There is a mockingbird (or maybe 2 or 3) residing at Prairie House. He starts his imitations early in the morning. Sometimes he is kind and waits until 7AM, but usually he starts in around 4AM. Initially it was amusing. Now it is annoying. He tweets, chirps, trills and squawks ALL DAY LONG. I don't know if they are migrating birds or if he (they?) will take up permanent residency.
To make matters worse, he is now imitating emergency vehicles! Maybe I can trap him and get him booked for a show in Vegas. He would put those ventriloquists to shame.

Thomas Jefferson took a mocking bird as a pet to the White House when he was president.
