Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos)

These birds are fierce. I have seen them chase or bite cats. Sometimes too when I see a Bird of Prey he will be chasing them too. I don't know if they are just plain brave or just love the rush they get being so dangerous.

Wonderful image, Daniel. Very sharp and detailed.
The mockingbird kind that I have here in my area is like that too.
I remember one year a couple decided to nest in my garden, and they would spend the entire day, everyday, trying to kick any other bird away from my backyard.

Exactly they are aggressive I heard they belong in the Crow family.

Fantastic close-up with excellent eye contact, head turn, lighting, colors, and detail. They are pretty relentless on squirrels too (lol). TFS Daniel!
