"Howard Lester" expounded:
If it's incessant singing, and of a very wide variety of song, it's most
likely a mockingbird.
Particularly during a full moon. Mockingbirds repeat their phrases
three to five times, and will frequently sing all night in their own
territories. One year my cherry tree out front was a mockingbird's
territory. Lovely! G
Now, I'd far rather have a mockingbird than a whip-poor-will. What a
monotonous loud song that is! There are some near our house in Maine.
Thankfully they're usually in the field across the lane.
