It's a beautiful and interesting shot, and the crop hasn't done it much harm. Is that a mockingbird? I've never seen one. It looks quite similar to a pied wagtail, and reminds me that as I left the office today I saw a pair of wagtails in a delightful flying kind of dance around each other. I assume it's some kind of courtship behaviour, or perhaps they were chasing the same insect, but it was an unusual close formation tumbling, circling kind of flight - fascinating to watch.
