7:35 a.m. 9417 Congdon Blvd (North Shore Scenic Drive, ~1/4 mile W of McQuade) Unfamiliar call/warble got my attention. First glance flying: white in wings, slender, blue jay size. Perched top of spruce: very long tail, white wing patch, no facial mask. Flew to lawn at 9416. Good looks for 5+ minutes: generally grey with very dark wings and tail. Dark line from eye to beak, which was slim and dark without a hook. Lighter chin, chest and belly. Long legs, grey/flesh colored. Runs, not spooked by flicker. Last seen 7:50 a top spruce at 9426, further NE up the shore. Wrote notes, then checked field guides to confirm Northern Mockingbird. Finally, my "personally found." Frank Berdan
