Well, I received a reply from another birder who suggested that perhaps there was both a Mockingbird and a Shrike in that location, based on the pictures. I thought I was following one bird, and then a second one of the same species showed up, but perhaps there were two different birds in the same vicinity, and I was not mistaken about a Shrike on my earlier visit. When I saw the bird, my first thought was that it was a Shrike. Shortly after it saw me, it flew into a tree where visibility was not optimal, and then flew off into another bunch of trees. I followed it, and took the photo on the bottom at that point. After some time, it flew off, and I followed it the best I could, and it eventually landed in a tree where I took the top photo. Another bird landed in the same tree about the same time, which I thought was a different bird, but perhaps I had them mixed up. The middle photo was taken to try and ID the second bird, but it took off just as I clicked the shutter button. I need to go back ...
