To kill a mockingbird?

It is hard to see it, but on the fence is a gray bird, either a mockingbird or a catbird (according to Joan who needs to clear this up when she sees this picture). Anyway, this bird has been taunting our Tigger and annoying the sh-t out of me. Yesterday, I spent some time outside working and holding the gun to the power washer, hoping to blow the bird to blithereens, but it didn't seem to work. So today Tigger spent the day inside with the air conditioning on, just to give us both a break from the freaking bird. I know I read the book (To Kill a Mockingbird) and saw the movie, but my memory being what it is, I have no recollection if there was an actual mockinbird murder, or if it was a metaphor.
