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.

A female Mocker Butterfly (Papilio dardanus) in the Butterfly and Orchid Pavilion of the Tucson Botanical Garden in Tucson, Arizona. The females of this African swallowtail butterfly mimic poisonous butterflies in their area.

This is a Mocking Cliff Chat (Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris), so named because it mimics other birds when singing. The American Mockingbirds were so named for the same reason. Mocking Cliff Chats are found in sub-Saharan Africa in the east and the white shoulder patch varies geographically. The race that occurs in the northern half of Ethiopia has exceedingly large white shoulder patches and the subspecies is appropriately named albiscapulata (it means white shoulders). I photographed this singing male near Gondar in northern Ethiopia.

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
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.
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.

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

Great entertainers: Mockingbirds sing a lot. Both females and males sing, and they can be heard any month of the year and any time of the day—and even at night. Their singing is not only voluminous but also diverse. Mockingbirds string together series of repeated phrases, some of which are imitations of other bird species.
