Abstract
MOST of what has been written about the song of the Mockingbird has been concerned with interspecific mimicry (Whittle, 1922; Visscher, 1928; Mayfield, 1934; Bent, 1948; Bedichek, 1947) or with various aspects of the song in relation to ontogenetic and behavioral phenomena in addition to mimicry (Laskey, 1935, 1944; Michener and Michener, 1935). The present study presents a quantitative description of certain aspects of primary or advertising song of male Mockingbirds on territory in spring and early summer. Tentative suggestions concerning the significance and function of various parameters of the song are included.
