Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

These things took over about a quarter mile of my running route. They attack me and my dogs if we get close and follow me, perching on signs the whole way.
I'm getting PTSD and have changed my route but hoping to find out how long they'll be around for.
SoCal.
Yep, mockingbirds. In a few weeks you should be okay going back to your old route, and you can start teaching them songs to cheer you on!
Y'all are good people. Thanks for the help!
Download Merlin Bird ID, set your rough geographical location.
"Sound ID" works great and will highlight possible birbs when they sing or chirp.
Merlin is the best! It will also help you narrow down the options based on a few characteristics such as color, size, location and activity. This definitely sounds like mocking bird behavior!
