Measuring 9.5–10.5 in (24–27 cm) in length, and weighing between 50.2 and 59.7 g (1.77 and 2.11 oz), the blue mockingbird is a medium-sized mimid. Individuals of the subspecies caerulescens have a mean body mass slightly higher than that for individuals of the subspecies longirostris — 63.5 g (2.24 oz) for the former and 59.7 g (2.11 oz) for the latter.

Feeding Habits
Blue Mockingbird primarily consumes invertebrates and various plant materials, foraging on the ground and in vegetation. This bird has a versatile diet, often adapting to available food resources, and shows particular preference for certain fruits and insects.
Habitat
The blue Mockingbird can typically be found inhabiting areas such as humid forests, scrublands, riparian thickets, as well as pine-oak and secondary forests. These birds exhibit a preference for the understory of these varied forest types, which span from humid montane regions to arid oak scrubs and thorn forests. The blue Mockingbird's adaptability allows it to reside in a broad range of geographical regions characterized by dense vegetation and some form of tree cover.

Species Status
Because of its very large range and sizable population (estimated to number 500,000–4,999,999 individuals), the blue mockingbird is rated as a species of least concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. There is, however, evidence that its overall numbers are dropping, primarily due to habitat fragmentation and loss. The Mexican government has named the longirostris subspecies as a taxon of "special concern".
