Living Dangerously

Not him - me! Probably not the best place to stand to shoot this, but it all happened so quickly. I was just standing there when he landed, aimed up and shot - then quickly moved out of the drop zone!

Nice close up of this type of bird

I'm dying just to get one photo of a mockingbird. They are not being cooperative at all this Spring. This is such a timely shot that turned out beautifully. Fav.

Lovely close up

Beautiful capture. Yes, standing under him like this is dangerous.

Well spotted and quick thinking to capture it so clearly!

Excellent!

[Rick Schies]

Oh my, luck was on your side, this time

[Milanie]

@jamibann Yes, Issi, it's a mockingbird - they are generally fairly common here and not too hard to get to stay still for a minute

[Nita]

A great capture, and yes, you got to remember where you are standing - glad there were no accidents.

Great capture!

[Wendy]

What a great close up capture! Nice title too!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Good thing you're quick, huh?! Great snap.

[What's for dessert?]

Lol, you had luck :) Great capture!

[Dione Giorgio]

Haha, if it were me, I would be stuck with the droppings on my head and without a proper shot. You were lucky to avoid this and get a beautiful clear capture.

[Gerry]

love the angle of this shot fav

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Nice close up - well worth the risk of fall-out! ;-)

[Islandgirl]

What a beautiful clear shot.................your a quick thinker!
