Mimus polyglottos
Medium sized songbird, overall gray-brown, paler on the breast and belly, with two white wingbars on each wing. A white patch in each wing is often visible on perched birds, and in flight these become large white flashes.
Can be found through-out the United States and is the Florida State bird. Look for Northern Mockingbirds in towns, suburbs, backyards, parks, forest edges, and open land at low elevations.
Just after I took this photo it regurgitated up a seed....

Thank you Ava and Susan
great shot reflecting its aggressiveness
It is due to taking photos of mockingbirds and their chicks that I started to become very interested in birds. :) Love their songs.
Great photo! This morning was the first day I heard the mockers in my neighborhood singing. A special moment!
