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.

"[We jump from] “This problem exists” to “The gov't must solve this problem but can’t” & absolve ourselves of responsibility...We expect too little of ourselves & too [much from] gov't. But when we don’t hold [gov't] responsible [for bad] public policy we ..expect too little.."
Janet Bufton (@hayekanuck): We have high state capacity, actually—we just have to demand its use

A clear and readable "big bucket" analysis.
Many provincial health systems are strained. But there is only so much the federal government can do to help.

"...we tend to believe that someone must earn our trust before we can enter into a rel'ship with them. But that’s upside down. Trust is not a precondition for cooperation; coop'n is a precondition for trust. Dependence is how we come to know who we can truly count on."

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? 🙂
