akandula Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Welcome to Whatbird! That's actually a Northern Mockingbird. Note the slender appearance, white wingbars, and long tail. Edited April 27, 2020 by akandula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) This is actually a Northern Mockingbird. The other birds would be much smaller Edit: Sniped again Edited April 27, 2020 by Connor Cochrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'd like to answer the question. "No, unless you could get a seriously talented geneticist to help the bird's parents produce an oddball." ? Northern Mockingbird does not have the obviously complete white eye rings of a gnatcatcher, nor the oft-nebulous complete white eye rings of Gray Vireo. Also, both vireo and gnatcatcher have dark irides, not icky to bright yellow ones, as in NOMO. Finally, gnatcatchers lack wing bars. Look at ALL the features of an unknown bird. Don't match up just one character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
