The gray bird sat at the top of the tree across from the drive and made many diverse and beautiful sounds. I wasn’t sure at first it was a mockingbird.
Then one morning I had the privilege of taking a picture of this bird with a 600 mm lens. I was amazed and pleased that the images were crisp and clear of the golden eye and white and black striping on the wings.
Google images verified the ID. A Mockingbird.
