Our first mockingbirds!!! - February 18th, 2007 at 06:15 AM
Hi all
All I did Saturday was chase starlings. I hung outside in the cold a lot. I was sitting on the deck shivering on starling patrol and I had my camera without my tele lens on hand.
I was not looking for new guests at all - I was on starling watch -- Suddenly a mockingbird lands 6 feet in front of me on the deck rail! Wow - he is a new backyard lifer!! I was so stunned I couldn't move my camera. The bird flew to the fence. Here is the only picture I got of him
LMAO.... Great shot! eh... Look closely there he is sitting on the top of the fence above the thickest part of the wood pile. I need to learn to draw circles and stuff on the pictures I post - then you could spot him easier.
He was so unexpected! He made me think of Thorny and his Mocks. But, I was making so much noise all day chasing the starlings :p I wonder if Mr. Mocky will ever come back!
