Northern Mockingbird

San Francisco, CA

A northern mockingbird perches high up to stake out his territory around Fort Mason.
He was a melodious charmer singing numerous different tunes in succession, much to the delight of his photographer.

You bring back fond memories of the mockingbird in my Mission district garden who could sing for 20 minutes without ever repeating him/herself! Beautifully captured & composed. V

Beautiful detail and pose. The green perch adds contrast and gives a perspective of size. I didn't realize the mockingbird was this small.

Dan, your birds are always such a delight and this little Mockingbird is no exception. I'm not a birder so I can't speak with any authority but I think a Northern Mockingbird would create quite a stir if it arrived on Vancouver Island and sang it's beautiful song:o)) Lucky you!!
