Bahama Mockingbirds (Mimus gundlachii) and Northern Mockingbirds (M. polyglottos) on San Salvador Island, Bahamas, in 1987
Tropical Mockingbirds (Mimus gilvus) in Venezuela and on Bonaire in 1988
Northern Mockingbirds in Pennsylvania in 1991-1992
Socorro Mockingbirds (Mimodes graysoni), in collaboration with Juan E. Martínez-Gómez, from 1993 to 1996
