Front Yard Bird

Nice Mockingbird, these are mean birds as soon a a pair of cardinals shows up near my feeders this guys swoops in and chases them away. Is this natural for this type of birds?

 

Nice shot Ed, I like the lighting, did you use fill?

Remember last year I had that nest in my front bush? The mother mockingbird was ok with my wife and I taking photos. She would watch from close by, then feed them when we left. Any other animal that went near by got her bad end.

Hope they come back this year. Anyone know if they'd use the same nest, or should i take it out?

 

I couldnt figure why that Mocker didnt dive bomb me last year. She seemed ok with me. They are usually aggressive as you mentioned.

 

Hi Ed,

This the nicest mocking bird shot I have seen. Beautifylly compose and the light is great.

Hi Ed,

Very nice picture. I like the lighting : low constrast, details in shaded areas and details in the background sky.

Cheers.

 

Wow, great looking bird, Ed!

Nicely composed, and well edited!

 

You not only posted your picture you posted a great one. I have a resident Mocking Bird in my back yard as well and not many other birds get past him. Very nice image, well photographed.

Hi Ed,
Everything about this bird picture is peaceful. Good job!

And I also enjoyed your Smugmug gallery very much. I'm the 'class of 49' but not the same high school :lol:

Very impressed with your volunteer fire service :!:

Best to you,
Gaye
