Field Notes

Description:

About 11 inches long. Looks like a longer, thinner Northern Mockingbird without white wing and tail patches.

Habitat:

Garden next to hay pasture.

Notes:

It was dusk when it flew by so I didn't see it distinctly, but something told me it was not a mockingbird (which are much more common here). I'm glad I took a second look.
