Found these guys right above my head on a tree next to my front door step. These birds are pretty common in NYC but I have no idea what they are. At all the attempts of taking pictures of the baby birds, the mother and father literally flew over my head and were trying to peck me. :oops:

Very cool shots, even the young bird in the last shot looks mean...heh..heh. Yard boss is another name for them! Excellent captures.

Great work. You're lucky you got away without full contact. Mockers don't usually hold back when they are fledging young.
