Of all our feathered friends, the northern mockingbird has one of the greatest, most descriptive names ever: Mimus polyglottos. Rather than have some awkward Latinized name to memorialize the person who discovered it (see: Bachman's warbler, Vermivora bachmanii. The mockingbird's name pretty much sums up what the bird is all about: "Many-voiced mimic." Here's a sample:. Hero, Atticus Finch . He de...

Of course, I'll admit I've just been looking for an excuse to put Stevie back up here, but it was pretty much my honest reaction.
