Taking a Break by allie912

Taking a Break

This picture may not be the sharpest but here is why I love it: I was walking to my car when I spotted this mockingbird planning his next move. Without breaking stride, I grabbed my camera and got off this shot before I spooked him into taking wing.
I really like the way his feet just fit the top of the hydrant. Mockingbirds are delightful birds to watch and listen to.
you must have a quick camera hand. They don't sit long. good capture

hi allie! looks like he belongs there for sure, very nice for a quick grab shot! i love mockingbirds too....there's one at my mom that has an amazing repertoire including a bull frog, a red-tailed hawk, and a cell phone ringing! I get the biggest smile out of that every time i hear it!

Very cute Allie. I plan to upload loads of England shots to Facebook and if you friend me you will be able to see all of the birds I put there. I may need a few days before I manage this project with editing and all but they will be there. Okay with you.
