This time of year, there are lots of northern mockingbirds in these relatively southern parts (as shown by this recent post), and sometimes they pause just long enough for photos. Very obliging.

Introducing tonight’s beautiful sunset colours from Cape Bonavista. Awesome show!!
@weathernetwork #ShareYourWeather #NLwx #bonavista #NewfoundlandI'll be honest, I've been waiting for this change my entire life. I worked hard to get myself out of poverty and I will work even harder to get communities out of poverty. Government dependency will never be the answer for Indigenous people. Look at what it's done to us! https://twitter.com/windspeakernews/status/1559249151560384515

"The police have more important stuff to do than hand out tickets. 'hoods need help controlling reckless drivers & we have a ready-made, proven techno'l sol'n that will...pay for itself. Not every problem...has such a clear solution. This one does. What...are we waiting for?"

"Conservatives put their heads down and get to work. They don’t waste time talking about feelings. They see an issue and seek to solve it. And they are offering solutions that differ from the failed policies of the Liberal government."

I see the modeling fee you had to pay was one berry – good price!!
Nice study of a mockingbird in short time frame..
Jim R – Thanks. Some of the birds at that preserve are a little less flitty – more used to human presence, perhaps? – and correspondingly easier to photograph.
I love how all the shades of the branches and twigs seem are copied in its feathers.
Marion – Good point. I didn’t actually see that. I do appreciate the low leaf cover this time of year in Phoenix – it makes them possible to spot and much easier to photograph.
Makes me feel like it is not snowing outside. Great glimmer in its eye.
Judith – It isn’t snowing outside here. Do you have a different outside? 🙂
