Is this the same bird as the one in the first post?

The upper parts remind me of a mockingbird but the legs appear to be like stilts - are like those of shore birds.

HIiiiiiiiiiiii Chris! :) Ok...I'll settle on Beckoning then. Don't slap me for my vein counts...rofl...but #3 is 16 and Archduke is 10-12. Do I just need to ignore that completely then? The plant in the photo is pretty tall and approx 6 years old I think...? Glory looks like a good match. The pics on the Library look like a more rounded leaf but the leaf tips look a lot like it

Dewberry maybe? If it's more prone/sprawly rather than upright/cane making and the berries more rounded like a raspberry, but big and black like a blackberry... They do tend to have bigger leaves and flowers than the wild blackberries do. They also have a lot of smaller thorns making them more like velcro compared to the big thorns the wild blackberries make.

Hi Catherine

This guy was quite busy hunting for his breakfast (he got the moth he was after) and didn't sing much. But I did hear and see him for the first time in San Antonio last Thanksgiving.

We have his cousin up here in NE Illinois - the gray catbird. The other day I was totally floored to hear him sing the house wren songs, note for note - he was spot on! I really like the catbirds - they seem so elegant and with such lovely sharp eyes.
