Just spotted a bird on the maple snag a few houses north of us, place where we sometimes see a sharp-shinned or Cooper's hawk surveying the world for a little snack.  Hurried downstairs and focused binoculars through the kitchen window.

Mockingbird.

No, not a shrike, though they look quite similar.  Mockingbird, ruler of all he surveys . . .
