Mockingbirds are plentiful here in Florida and I've got my share in my backyard. Yet I never tire of their wonderful singing. Couldn't resist a picture of this songster.

Comments welcome.

Rich, great shot getting him singing against the beautiful blue sky. Love the perch.

Sometimes these guys never shut up, even at night!

I didn't think an image with 650 pixels could be this clear and crisp.

Lovely image, Rich. Despite the somewhat steep angle, the beautiful perch and blue sky more than make up for it.

Steep angle aside this is a wonderfully exposed bird, excellent detail as well, lovely morning/afternoon light, very well done!! Congrats!!

Rich,

These are plentiful but often shy. Neat capture with a clear blue sky.

Jim

Enjoy viewing

Nice capture Rich. The blue BG adds to an already sweet shot.

It's so easy to take these guys for granted. You've shown why they shouldn't be. Nice job.
