okay...then there must be some regional differences Eric.
Cuz no one I know would call a magpie a mockingbird.
two different birds.... and (sorry to get technical...but it's part of what I studied during my 5 years of college) they are in different families of birds. not closely related, I'm thinking.
Magpie is about twice the size of a mockingbird.
