The quality of the pictures is blurry at best. But this vocal bird was on a fruit tree and bobbing its head up and down and calling, calling. Please help I.D. I'll have several pictures to post.

Hi Lily, I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of downloading your pic to my computer for cropping and zooming. I can't hold the zoom but it looks like an immature bird with a large beak maybe a woodpecker or grackle??

Maybe someone with better eyes can tell.

I'll delete it off my computer now.

Does look "woodpeckery", but that's about the end of what's possible, I fear.
