Yes, he (or she) is a mockingbird. Very common in my area. They are quite the singers and mockers! Where in the Jersey Shore are you located? I have a good friend in Asbury Park I visit often. I grew up in a small town called Jersey Shore....PA. Nowhere near the ocean.  |

From what information you gave I would suspect a common black bird on the latter. The second one perhaps a towhee. I just don’t know how “common” the blackbird is in NY city, so o feel kind of dumb suggesting that… |

Where in the Jersey Shore are you located? I have a good friend in Asbury Park I visit often. I grew up in a small town called Jersey Shore....PA. Nowhere near the ocean. No problem. The first two towns I lived in was called North East, MD. It was neither really north or east, unless you figured from Baltimore. My Aunt Rita, who cussed like a sailor came to see us from Paterson, NJ. She’d gripe “What in the goddam hell you got a goddam town called Nord East for? I don’t make no goddam sense. It can’t be bod. It’s eder gotta be nord or it east, right! Goddamn stupid shit.” So all right, but where’s the second “t” in Paterson then auntie? Shud da hell hell up you goddam liddle shit.” The second one was Rising Sun, MD. The sun rose there the same time as everywhere else and the view was about the same. There is no Japanese population there, or at least wasn’t back then. |

Better than one of my kids...I think. Which one?…🤓 C’mon, we won’t tell… Maybe the one who flushed a GI Joe down the toilet...or perhaps the one who thought it'd be cool to set off fireworks in his bedroom...then again, could be the one who decided to take their Honda 50 dirt bike out for a spin at 11:00 PM...or maybe the one who felt a backyard campout required a camp fire...or maybe...far too many choices. |

Nice!
In my backyard I have seen Red Robins, Ravens, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, some hand size black birds with bright yellow beaks, and this AM for the first time I saw what looked be be an American Robin, it was grayish but the front of the bird was a very bright yellow.
Any idea what kind of birds that I described in bold font it might be? I replied to Inger, but everyone feel free to answer my question if you can. Thank you.
   Magpies...they're fearless. Had 2 of them attack our Border Collie. He was no match for them... |

White wing stripe, iridescent purple mixed in… long, long tail… Yes...but I think there are several different species, included a yellow billed one. |
