Enjoying the last of the wild grapes.

This young Mockingbird comes at Hilda or I when we go in our front yard. It will come so close you can feel the wind off it's wings. It can be in a tree in a neighbors yard and here it will come. We have Mockingbirds all the time and have never had one do this. I wish I had a camera with me a few days ago. It got after a squirrel and that squirrel took off.

Have a great weekend.

Ya it snowed here this weekend

Northern Mockingbird (Mimus Polyglottos)

The beautifully fragrant Mock Orange is a favourite in our garden.

I always look forward to this small tree flowering in early summer. Its flowers are intensely fragrant, especially on a warm evening.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

I have been wanting to practice my bird photo techniques. We had a Mocking Bird land on our Sycamore tree right before lunch so I ran to grab my camera before he flew away. I had my 16-135mm lens on the camera which is not ideal but I didn't want to take time to change it and miss losing the shot. I just watched a seminar by Matt Kloskowski on photographing birds and it really helped me get at least somewhat of a decent shot. Not like others here on Flickr' but I'm proud what what I have learned and done to this point.

We saw quite a few of these beautiful birds and their song was a frequent soundtrack to our surroundings.

So here is one, having caught it mid-itch

They were common enough, that few people stopped to watch them - but I continue to love "the ordinary birds" and likely will always try to get extraordinary pictures, of 'ordinary birds'.

Last year this Mock Orange suddenly appeared in my yard. I think the seeds may have come from my neighbour's tree. I was intending to plant one in the yard, but now I don't have to.

The mocking cliff chat is a large member of the old world flycatcher (Muscicapidae) family, more like a thrush or blackbird in size. This one was on the thatched roof of our hut in Ubizane.
