It is endemic to San Crist\u00f3bal Island in the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands.[2][3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsTaxonomy and systematics[edit]Description[edit]Distribution and habitat[edit]Behavior[edit]Feeding[edit]Display[edit]Breeding[edit]Vocalization[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Taxonomy and systematics[edit]The San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird, Gal\u00e1pagos mockingbird (Mimus parvulus), Espanola mockingbird (M. macdonaldi), and Floreana mockingbird (M. trifasciatus) were previously placed in genus Nesomimus and were considered conspecific. They now form a superspecies. The San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird is monotypic.[4][2]Description[edit]         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Illustration by John Gould (1839)The San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird is 25 to 26\u00a0cm (9.8 to 10.2\u00a0in) long. Males weigh an average of 53.2\u00a0g (1.88\u00a0oz) and females 48\u00a0g (1.7\u00a0oz). Adults have a thin white supercilium, black lores, and a blackish patch behind the eye. Their crown and upperparts are grayish brown with some darker streaks. The wings and tail are dark brown; the wings when folded show two whitish bars and the outer tail feathers have whitish tips. They are mostly whitish below, with a buffy tinge on the throat, tiny dark spots on the sides of the breast, and blackish brown streaks on the flanks. The juvenile is similar to the adults but with more streaking on its underparts.[5]Distribution and habitat[edit]The San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird is found only on San Crist\u00f3bal Island in the eastern Gal\u00e1pagos. It inhabits several landscapes across all elevations of the island including coastal mangroves, open arid lowland scrub, scrubby woodland with scattered trees and cacti, and some taller woodlands. It shuns dense lowland forest, tall wet woodland, and grassland.[5]Behavior[edit]Feeding[edit]The San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird mostly forages on the ground for terrestrial arthropods but also takes fruits and berries from low vegetation. It has been documented taking ticks from marine iguanas.[5]Display[edit]Although the San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird does not have white wing patches, it does a “wing flash” movement similar to that done by Mimus mockingbirds that do have such patches. It runs a short distance, briefly opens its wings to two-thirds of full extension, then extends them fully to a position just above horizontal.[6]Breeding[edit]The San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird nests from January to April at low elevations and to later at higher ones. Its year round territory is typically 3 to 5\u00a0ha (7.4 to 12.4 acres). The species builds a bulky nest of twigs lined with grasses in the crotch of a tree, usually 4 to 5\u00a0m (13 to 16\u00a0ft) above the ground. The clutch size is two to five, though usually four. The female incubates the eggs and both parents feed nestlings.[5]Vocalization[edit]The San Cristbal mockingbird sings a “[l]oud, melodious and disjointed territorial song typical of [its] genus.”[5]The IUCN has assessed the San Crist\u00f3bal mockingbird as Near Threatened. Prior to 2020 it was classified as Endangered. “The population is moderately small, but stable and currently not under imminent threat.” The population is estimated to be at least 20,000 mature individuals.[1]See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b BirdLife International (2020). “Mimus melanotis“.
