This Northern Mockingbird gave me a full photo-shoot opportunity.
He executed several turns as he surveyed the marsh below him.
Mockingbirds are very common and easy to overlook with rather a drab appearance. Their spunkiness makes them stand out.

Mocking Birds are everywhere in SC, from the cities to the wild areas. Easy to overlook they are really quite striking. Thank you, Sandra!

Thanks! We often see them in the trees along the marsh edge, but this was unusual.

I like the simplicity of the backgrounds and the lines created with the tall “grasses”. Always amazes me how birds can softly land and balance themselves on almost anything!

Thank you, Michael! The bends in the grass make nice framing. Yes, and seemingly effortless on their parts!
