As I was going to my car today to pick up my granddaughter from "school" carrying my camera, a film camera, my purse, my keys, and a birthday card to mail for my grandson I heard this bird and then saw him take a lazy swoop toward the tree and land.
My friend MaryBeth @espyetta always gets great shots of birds so I wanted to try for one she would be proud of. Juggling all I was carrying, I removed the lens cap of my camera, adjusted the settings, and got ready to shoot. It started raining and he moved ........to the top of the tree. One shot before my cameras, the card, my purse and I get wet. I think it turned out OK
This photo turned out great. Great little story about how you took this photo. It almost looks like a stuffed bird as it is so soft looking. Well done.
He turned out AWESOME! That is a great capture and even with all that stuff to juggle about. I love/hate me some Mockingbird! hahaha! Thanks for posting!
@espyetta Thank you so very much. I was totally thinking of you when I shot it. I know how you feel about Mockingbirds. No, He did not attack me as the one did you last summer so I didn't have to pick up anything! He was across the street from me.
