A Northern Mockingbird in the backyard here in Norwich village this afternoon (April 17) provided my first sighting of this species in the town of Norwich during 2009. My most recent previous record for this species in Norwich was on April 23, 2005, but prior to that bird my Norwich records came from 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2001. Months during which I have encountered mockingbirds in Norwich are January, March, April, May, November, and December.
