Fyn, this is the spot. I have marked Question Mark and on the video I have it as Eastern Comma. I don't know which is correct. Thanks!

Was there a thunder? I really did not hear it. The mockingbird sounds beautiful and relaxing.

There is a mockingbird (not caught on this video) that must have been outside the window of a kid who plays video games across the street. I kid you not! It is a new sound and boy is it annoying.
