bluedog1us Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Folks if this is not a mockingbird then i am living in the twilight zone....I am 72 yrs old and have seen mockingbirds all my life but i have never noticed one with spots on his chest....Can anyone help me with an explanation? Thanks in advance...I took that picture in 2013 in Louisiana and for some odd reason i had never noticed it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) The visible yellow gape (at the corner of the beak) also means it's a juvenile. Edited August 4, 2018 by The Bird Nuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
