Tropical Mockingbird

[RVT1K]

These are pretty common here and I see them all the time.
There was a brief moment of panic when I thought there was dust all over the sensor.
Its some sort of small bees. There is a big nest of them in the same tree.

And if that mockingbird don't sing... you'll get a restful sleep...

According to the book, they don't mimic the calls of other birds like the ones in NY did.

Looks to have an unusually long neck - or is that just the camera angle?

 

[RVT1K]

I think it is stretching.
Here's a more "normal" angle.
