My Most Patient Friend

Do wonder why the mockingbirds are the only ones around who will stand patiently to have their portrait made? I appreciate his attitude!

[Issi Bannerman]

Yes, they are good models! Nice one, I love the branch he is sitting on.

[Susan]

Stand patiently AND in a scenic spot! Wish the birds here cooperated like that. :) Wonderful shot - fav

[Milanie]

@slash This is the ONLY dead tree trunk I've found within walking distance - I am a regular visitor! Glad you liked it.

[Steve]

What an awesome shot, Milanie! Sure wish birds around here would do that, usually by the time I find them in the viewfinder they fly away.

[Nita]

Beautiful capture, Milanie. Wonderful light and detail.

[Milanie]

@stevej I never mention how many of them I miss for the same reason:)

[Kathleen Hinkaty]

Terrific shot! fav

Well, isn't it nice that one of them does! Anytime I go near the sloughs the ducks are swimming for the other side before I am in camera range!

[Rick Schies]

Always nice to have an accommodating subject

Beautifully caught, Milanie. The light, as always, is lovely, nice details on that pretty little bird and I do like the textures of the branch, lichen and moss.

[Mary Beth O'Sullivan]
