This clip captures an intimate, cinematic close-up of the **Bahama Mockingbird (Mimus gundlachii)** delivering a rich, mimic-filled song from a sunlit boulder beside a forest stream.

If you love field ornithology, cinematic nature footage, or high-quality **bird sound 4K** recordings, this 20 second sequence delivers a concentrated example
