Satin Bowerbird Mimicry

["Kurtis Lindsay" <>]

Evan,

This bird was doing exactly that, perched still amongst the foliage. However 
it only imitated a YTBC, perhaps its repertoire will expand as it gains 
maturity? I found it interesting how the Miners were acting so aggressive 
towards it while it was making the YTBC noise, but as soon as it changed 
back to the normal Bowerbird call they would fly off. This happened a couple 
of times.
The mimicry in Satin Bowerbirds appears very different to what I have 
observed in Olive-backed Orioles, which also like sit still in that same 
tree but show-off their full repertoire with renditions of everything from 
Grey Butcherbird to masked Lapwing in a jumbled up warble.
