They do mimic a lot of different birds. In the summer, when I am out on the deck BBQing I am constantly hearing their music. It is really cool. Thanks for the awesome pictures.

Very friendly bird, if you go near them every day they will let you get within a few feet of them.
I made friends with one in our front yard, by going out to it every day and talking to the bird. She let me close enough to her nest I have photos from the time she laid her eggs until the time the babys left the nest.
Well worth getting to *know* this bird.

The Brown Thrashers are skilled imitators like the Mockingbirds, just not as frequent, and their mimicry seems to be of a more musical tone.
