All summer long, I kept looking for a good photograph of a Northern Mocking, but to no avail. I didn’t get any photographs, never mind a good one. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
And then the other day, we were taking a hike at Fort Hill and there was a Northern Mockingbird perched up on a branch. We got out our cameras and clicked away. He sure was ready to pose, flitting from branch to branch, for a long time.
Here are my two favorite ones. What do you think?
A very handsome bird!
Many mockingbirds used to live in my neighborhood, and I always enjoyed listening to their long medley of other birds’ songs. Sorry to say, they seem to have moved to a different part of town.
