What is this bird from only its call, it torments me?

Maybe have to turn it up all the way

A month ago I went backpacking and as soon as I drifted off to sleep these birds started going off like an alarm. Not even constantly, so I can get used to it, but intermittently so I kept waking up.

Now I'm in the same state park backpacking again, several miles from the last place but there's still a bunch of them. This time I came prepared with ear plugs with this bird is seriously becoming my enemy. Every other bird is happy to make noise in the daytime. I went looking with my flashlight because I could tell one was in a specific stand of trees but I am too tired from hiking to do much fricking around in dense stands of trees right now. Somehow tonight I'm in a lucky area for service and I can ask rDrama

Sentimentally accurate portrait of the bird

It's a mockingbird, mocking the call of another bird I refuse to name.

I'll name her, Brenda is her name. And she hates OP for encroaching on her habitat and displacing her people's. She shrieks demanding reparations, but she knows that OP is likely too dull to understand her. She once persisted with the hope that he would one day understand, but that hope has waned and her motivation is mostly replaced with the desire to simply annoy OP, that is until her and the rest of The Birds have their day...

I actaully watched it recently and will say it holds up ok as a thriller. I mostly enjoyed it because it seemed trippy like a moving Norman Rockwell painting

I guess birds are scary if you're an insect, or a whale off the coast of argentina.

Look, I get the meme of "it's not scary, it's suspense/psychological horror/80's thriller/grindhouse/etc."

I'm drunk and this splitting hairs bullshit is dorky af, have some pride instead of trying to be a sneaky snake.

Next time you need to know your bird enemy, get the "Merlin Bird ID" app. Helps you figure it out by sound or photo.
