This one was singing its heart out. Gray, longer-tailed than a robin and showing white patches indicates a Northern Mockingbird.

Hi Miles,
I was very amused a couple of weeks ago to see a Kingbird chasing a Raven.
NATURE POETRY
Wake up, golden Head! Wake up, Brownie! Cat-bird wants you in the garden soon. You and I, butterflies, bobolinks, and clover, We’ve a lot to do on the first of June. – Charles G.D. Roberts (1860–1943)
Scenic! Beautiful botany!
I encountered a Mockingbird once on a trail in Algonquin Park, and was treated to a symphony of sounds! (I do have the right bird, don’t I?) A veritable orchestra! I didn’t know what it was at the time, and was simply amazed at the range and variety of mimicry with which I was presented. Later, I learned what it was. Thanks, Miles!
