Northern Mockingbird

2016.01.19: For well over a decade now there has always been at least one pair of Northern Mockingbirds living in our yard ...until this past year. They now pop in to visit our feeders occasionally, but I believe that they have actually moved a little further down our neighborhood.

I enjoy listening to mockingbirds sing, so I was very happy today to observe this one at our feeders ...hopefully he will move back into our yard when spring arrives!

I just love to see all your birs, none of which I've ever seen before as I've never been to your part of the US.

Nice shot and you have provided a nice place for him to come and visit.

They are fun to listen to- and the only way to tell if it truly is a Mocking Bird is to see if the bird keeps changing its tune! Nice shot!

Love the look on this mocking bird's face. Very intense and very purposeful!! The same look I get when I see chocolate! LOL Awesome details and lighting and great POV! The mocking birds stay here year around and there are a lot of them!! I do love when they mock another bird's song!!! Excellent capture! FAV!!

@cashew Wonderful observation, Kathy! :) I realize that I also get that intense look ...when I see chocolate or pizza!

What a treat for you! We see Mockingbirds only occasionally and never at the feeders. There's always hope, though! You get a wonderful variety of birds at your feeders. I really enjoy your pictures!
