I live in Phoenix, AZ. As a bird watcher, I have observed some of the Northern Mockingbirds in my area over the years. They seem to disappear from Phoenix during the hottest months (over 100F+). I believe they must migrate north to where it is cooler between May and late September. (I have no specific evidence of where they go though so it's just a guess.) One particular individual bird arrived back to his tree outside my office building entrance this week. I arrived to work Oct 1 to hear his voice singing out his distinctive mockingbird song. Sure enough there he was at the top of his favorite tree. :)

I live in Texas, about an hour east of Dallas... My wife and I have also noticed that the Mockingbirds vanish about August 1st and are not seen again until about September 10th... We noticed this behavior 3 years ago and have verified the occurance each year aferward...I've talked to game & fish ornithologists and they seem to be totally unaware of this annual exodus... I would like to know more about it... If any of you know more, please contact me... Thanks...

Mockingbirds are known for mimicking the sounds of other birds, animals, and even human-made noises. They don't actually mock or make fun of other creatures in the same way humans do, but their ability to replicate sounds is where their name comes from.

Mocking birds Do sleep, unfortunately for us humans it's when we are usually awake. The male mocking bird will stay up all night and provide us a serenade of up to 200 'songs' of everything from parakeets to hawks to chickens and even chainsaws. Once the male has settled down with a mate the singing will stop and the mocking bird will resume regular daytime office hours.

Birds don't hibernate at all. They migrate to warmer areas during winter most of the time.
