northern mockingbird

approximately 25 feet without a teleconverter...

Both are very nice, very sharp, but as far as composition and the photo as a whole, i like the second best.

Wonderful shots, Mary

Great capture. I love mockingbirds. Except when they go through that phase where they sing all night long. They're very loud and sleep is impossible and then you want to shoot them - just kidding. It's fun to try to make a noise and get them to mock you.

The photos - especially the one below - are stunning Mary. I love the vivid contrast of the green background.

Both are super images, Mary & I don't believe I've seen a mockingbird

WOW. A teleconverter, eh? ;^)
They're both fantastic, but the one on the bottom is just outstanding. Beautiful shot.

Gorgeous shots, especially the closeup. That was my mother's favorite bird. She'd rescue ones that had fallen and feed them on mashed potatoes with egg yolk and water until they were big enough to fly.
