Well I guess that means I gotta change the title. In my defense, when it was flying around, it loped like a Mocking bird. I wanted to believe it was a brown one. Guess I'm gonna need a bird ID book.

Brown Thrasher, related to Mockingbird and Catbird. All three are mimics.

It's a great picture but not of a Mocking Bird. I do believe it is a Brown Thrasher.

Any suggestions for birding books. Either iPad, or hard copy?

The one I use the most. Kaufman Field to Birds of North America. Great pictures. Nice vinyl cover and just the right size.

Me too. Also, easier to find unknown birds than most guides, waterproof pages, just the right size for travel, wonderfully organized. I feel the clarity of the computer aided pictures is better than photographs or drawings. Kenn Kaufman is one of America's top authority on birds. Mine has held up well for about 7 years of almost daily use.

I have several other bird guides (Sibley, Stokes, National Audubon Society, Peterson, and National Wildlife Federation Field Guides) but almost always prefer the Kaufman Field Guide. Still, it's nice to have more than one if a photo catches only one view of a bird with identifying marks that might not be in one book but is in another.

Finally, check out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Guide online at http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/search. The Cornell site includes information about behavior, food, and examples of calls among other things. Here is the link to the Brown Thrasher pages: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/brown_thrasher/id .
