Bird in a hurricane

While Hurricane Joaquin move far enough east that we didn't get the 3-6 inches of rain forecasted, we did get strong winds Sunday and Monday. Saw this poor little mockingbird on the fence. The wind was reeking havoc on his pretty feathers. He was on the fence by the tree trying to stay protected from the winds, but the wind would blow him off the fence and he'd fly into the tree, only to come back out a few minutes later.

What a tough little bird. I like how you have captured his feathers all ruffled, nice shot.

@kategoring Thanks. I actually took about 7 or 8 pictures of him, but they were all a little blurry due to the high wind and so much movement.
