Mockingbird

I had to go out early this morning and this beautiful mockingbird landed not more than 10 feet from me. Wet from the night rain.

Wonderful image of the bird. Love how the red from that wet perch he is on is reflecting up onto his white underside.

@bankmann Thanks for the Fav @carolmw @lotus1922 @myhrhelper @darsphotos @sugarmuser @jdr4690 @sharonaddison Thank you for the comments and the visit. The mockingbird looks larger because of the long tail feathers..
