One aspect of mockingbird song I've always wondered about is
sometimes late in the evening (2 AM, even) a solitary individual
will still be singing.  Does anyone know much about this 
behavior?  When I once tried to research it, I found literature
on night-singing birds, but nothing in particular on mockers.
