Hmmm. Whom Can I Mock?

This Mockingbird was sitting on a wire in front of my house and I really wanted to get a shot of him flying off but I still don't have those kind of skills so I settled for a close up!

Oh ... the simplicity of this is beautiful, Katy. Love the white space. Shows off the beautiful feathers and markings of the bird.

Thanks so much KarenAnn. It is just a bit of overexposure that I really didn't plan! more of a HA!

[Marilyn Wigen]

Fab detail! Great capture of the turned head... much better than a straight on shot!

[Anne Hansknecht]

[katy]

@marilyn Wow! thanks a bunch. It was one of those " I only have two shots for today.what else can I shoot?" moments! ;~}

[katy]

@annehans So nice of you to say! Thanks for the FAV, Anne!

[Marilyn Wigen]

@grammyn See, now I would have just said, "Well I have two shots today... good enough!"

[katy]

@marilyn Compulsion is not always a good thing.

[Deb]

I really like your HA ! Nice capture of this guy!

[Darlene]

Wow, what a gorgeous photo, Katy. Love the detail and white background. It is not easy to catch birds in flight. It takes practice or luck. FAV

@peterdegraaff It didn't make a peep while it was up there but I hear them a lot around the neighborhood. None of them,however, singing the song!
