#191 lifer! #83 for the backyard! Extremely rare; 3rd county record. Undoubtedly a mockingbird. Seen flitting around over large area. Also seen running around on rocks and eating berries from bush. Size and shape of a solitaire, with gray back, white belly, black wings with large white patches, white under tail with black border, and gray head with distinct orange eye crossed by sharp black supercilium. Lots of decent photos. Also heard: original notes mixed in with imitations of other birds, including Western Kingbird and Northern Flicker. Three recordings. Confirmed by Nolan Clements. An incredible find!
