We have Northern Mockingbirds year round. They are the only mockingbird native to North America and their ability to make different calls is legendary. These photos are of a pair creating a nest in a dense shrub...
When nesting they are very territorial. I observed this pair driving many birds from the vicinity of their nest site. Videos of them attacking cats, dogs and humans can easily be found on You Tube.
