[Ontbirds] Northern Mockingbird in East York

hello,
I saw a Northern Mockingbird in my yard on Tuesday Jan 10th.
And while there was much of the usual avian activity around the feeder, the Mockingbird mostly flitted about the periphery, before flying off.

I'm not clear how unusual a sighting this is for  the winter (my sources are conflicting) but not something I see very often in the city.

Location was East York, closest intersection is Main St. and Lumsden, more precisely at the corner of Chisholm Ave and Westbrook ave.
