The little gray bird you see on the trellis makes a lot of noise, I usually hear them before seeing them. Intimidation is their tactic, using their spanned wings to look big and their squawking is quite annoying when around them alot. I think that is where they got the name Mocking bird.
It looks a lot like the female pine warbler, but without the yellow marking on its head. I think it sits up there looking for worms and flying bugs to eat.

I have seen them go after my mason bees, though I cannot be mad as that is nature. Though I hope though building more mason bee homes I can outnumber the birds to the bees being eaten.
I think it saw me, checking out who I am and what im about. Luckily it did not try to swoop on me and attack.
Im sure if I was by their nest they would be, they are very feirece when other birds, animals and people come too close to their nest.
I am not sure if this is a male or female, but cool bird none the less. They sure give crows an annoyance, I see mating pairs chasing off crows all the time. The Crows dont seem to like them, as they will bite them when too close to the Mocking birds nest.
