Some Kind Of Bird
Okay birder Flickrites, here\'s your chance to show you know your stuff!
Thanks to toddkeith533 and Jim Frazier for the bird ID, it's a Mockingbird!
I'm the first to admit that I know little to nothing about taking bird shots. I just don't have the patience to watch while they preen on a branch, waiting to get the defining shot.
With that being said this is my contribution to the birdiers of the world. This bird landed on a branch just above the picnic table we were sitting at, probably hoping to scrounge a free meal. I was able to get this between bites of my tuna sandwich which he got no part of, didn't get any of the Cheetos either! If you're going to sit right above me and not poop I\'ll give you the courtesy of a photo!
Now the way I understand it Madera Canyon is supposed to be a great place to see many varieties of birds, great for birders but not for me so here\'s my question....What kind of bird was it that was trying to wrangle a free meal from us?
I\'m hoping that toddkeith533 or Jim Frazier chime in since they\'re up on our feathered friends!
