Search Google Images for bird species and you get pages of images to look at.
However, since the program is looking for the bird name, if that name appears
on a page with a wholly different image, you get stuff like Tropical
Screech-Owl images. Here is what I found

Here are three pictures of the Tropical Mockingbird I took late yesterday
afternoon. Two are of the Tropical Mockingbird as it was flying into the tree
it and the Northern seem to be building a nest in. You can clearly see the
tail feathers spread in the two shots. I offer no opinion because I am not
familiar with this species.

Texbirders,
I still remember the first time I saw a Tropical Mockingbird in the lowlands
of Tabasco, Mexico.
I remember thinking, "Wow, if this bird ever showed up in the US, there would
be no way to tell it wasn't just a slightly aberrant Northern Mockingbird.
Good thing they aren't migratory."
So now I ask the same question..how do we eliminate the more likely
explanation of a slightly aberrant Northern Mockingbird that simply lacks the
white wing patches (has anyone seen the tail feathers well?)?
Are their vocalizations any different.
