This is a sequence of poses from a Northern Mockingbird's "flight display." The bird was at the top of a tree and singing loudly. It flew straight up and parachuted back to the same spot many times. I often see Mockingbirds practicing the same display on telephone poles in my neighborhood. They're noisy but fun to watch.
Someone recently asked me about another Mockingbird photo that I posted several years ago. When I looked for it, I found several other shots of the same bird. I made the composite from three of them.
