gpoole Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Kinda looks like a flycatcher to me. Maybe an Eastern Phoebe? (in my opinion) I am not an expert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds are cool Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I am on the computer now, and I still think it looks like a thrasher/mockingbird type. Sage Thrasher would be my first guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This looks fine for a Northern Mockingbird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasCobra Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 See if this pic helps. Compare the size of the subject bird with that of the Woodhouse's Scrub-jay which I believe is roughly the same size as a Mockingbird. I also think the subject bird has a shorter tail than the thrasher or mockingbird. My guess is that the subject bird is an Eastern Phoebe.

IKLland Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Doesn’t strike me as a flycatcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It is a Northern Mockingbird. It has a faint eyeline and you can barely see the wing patch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
