Happy to pose

Another shot of the catbird in my garden, who for some reason was happy to pose for me, even though I was only a few feet from him.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

You said he was happy to pose for you, but I rather think he's in love... with you.

How pretty. You must be a bird whisperer to be able to get so close to them. He certainly is posing for you.
