Well several of you encouraged me to look at the series to find a more typical pose - and I came up with this one. Unfortunately no fill in flash (I didn't have it with me)..and the bird was a little farther away, so detail is not quite so good. Anyway, here goes!

Please let me know what you think - I'm learning so much from everyone's helpful suggestions.

Looks pretty good Andrew. Would like a little more head turn.

Nice shot, Andrew. The dropped wings and raised tail are really cool.

Classic Mocker. I really like this one on the cactus as it is. Well done.

Andrew, Nice job getting him on cactus. I would give him more room on the left. Never leave home without the flash.

I really like the background and pose on this one. Detail looks good to me. It would have been nice if he were looking more your way...but mockingbirds don't seem to take direction very well.
