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.

How to Find Stuff
Use the Categories menu - The canonical approach: proven, reliable, proven reliable.Use the Themes menu - For those who like to think about underlying themes and for those who like to be surprised. But be warned that my assignment of posts to themes is a little, umm, arbitrary, since many posts treat serious intellectual and emotional subjects with what I fondly think of as humour.
Use the Search function - With more than 730 key words, from patience (boo) to persistence (hurray), from Richard III (hurray) to Richard Feynman (hurray again), there's a good chance you'll find what you're looking for, and you're pretty much sure to find something.
Use the Archives drop-down menu - Useful for searching by date. Just in case.

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? 🙂
