While walking my pooch around the Jericho East neighborhood this late afternoon, I came upon a light gray bird perched at the apex of a 50 ft Birch. It was too high to ID by naked eye.
I was able to stand about 20 ft from the tree in very good light. My 1st thought was that it was a N. Shrike but I did not have any binos...just my iphone. It was calling like an almost nasally Catbird. After listening and watching for a minute or so and hoping it didn't fly away, I pulled up a N. Shrike on iBird Pro on my phone and identified it as a juvenile N. Shrike. The app had the exact juvenile call/song as the bird I was hearing. 

I also heard a FOY Eastern Phoebe on my walk.
