Yes, as others know, it's a Mocker. It will serenade you with calls of all the birds it hears, hence the name. It's also a bully and will dive bomb any cat or dog that gets in it's way. It's a joy to watch them do their dances during mating season! I've had both dogs and cats run for safety from them.

Not only will they dive bomb a cat they will harry a hawk too.
