Northern Mockingbird - Mimus polyglottos 1
I heard a strange call coming from the large tree across the street from my apartment. I grabbed my binoculars and spied the Great Crested Flycatcher - a new edition to the lifelist! The Cornell All About Birds Bird Guide mentioned that they can often be found in suburban areas, so it's too uncommon.
169 species! Woohoo!
