On Guard DSC_7520
This is one of two Northern Mockingbirds that visit my backyard throughout the day. All Mockingbirds that visit my yard are called Dunbar, after the character John Dunbar from the Kevin Costner Movie, Dances with Wolves. Years ago, after I finished watching that movie, Dunbar showed up at the window and that's how he/she became Dunbar. This one dances with hawks, not wolves but it's still a little dangerous.
Dunbar is not afraid to dive bomb Elvis, the red-shouldered hawk when Elvis visits. In this image, Dunbar is simply guarding a feeding station. Note, he is on the same cedar snag from yesterday's image where Robbie is sitting as he longingly looks at that same feeding station.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
