I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated
The Northern Mockingbird is the official State Bird of Florida.
I could think of more colorful entries for Florida's State Bird, but....
It is also the State Bird of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. It was formerly the State Bird of South Carolina (now the Carolina Wren).
The bird in the picture appears to have only one leg, but one leg is seemingly tucked in, a position many birds use when resting.
Florida's State Bird is the Northern Mockingbird, They are fairly widespread in Florida, which is one good reason to make them the State Bird : ) Though not brightly-colored, they are prolific singers. True to their name, mockingbirds mimic other birds songs, often repeating a sequence of notes several times.
This mockingbird was hanging out in the Beauty Bush today. It should have a full belly!
Like the Gray Catbird, mockingbirds are able to differentiate Brown-headed Cowbirds eggs from their own.
The Northern Mockingbird was named the official state bird of Tennessee in 1933.

This is a better photograph of this species than the one I had previously posted. The previous post was Bird Species (# 102) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.

Taking a break from flying around with his friend. Singing at the top of his little voice. So beautful!
When I saw it, I said to myself, NO way, I'd catch it, I grabbed my camera anyway. Captured on my deck, it stayed for more than 2 minutes, my lucky day......
Yes, my deck needs a paint job, which was made by my late husband 45 years ago, very sturdy, but, every 2 or 3 years, needs a paint job, which cost $800-1,000. I guess I probably won't spend this money again till I'm ready to move. :-)))
Mockingbirds do nothing but sing and best known for the habit of mimicking the songs of other birds.
It seems that wherever you go you will find a Mockingbird. Just listen for all different types of bird calls and you know they are there. We were able to get up close and personal to this guy. Mockingbirds are best known for the habit of mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians, often loudly and in rapid succession. We liked the lighting and pose of this handsome Guy.
Mockingbird
Northern mockingbirds are known for their ability to mimic everything from sirens to crickets to other bird species. Scientists think they produce these copycat calls to show off for potential mates. The animals also belt out songs unique to mockingbirds.

Although not completely better—-and I am not sure if they ever will be—-my shoulders are getting better, so yesterday I ventured out with my 500mm to take some bird photographs. First time in months. My left shoulder is paying for it a little today, though. The skies weren’t necessarily conducive for photography, but I was able to get a few shots in (I saw more than I photographed), so I’ll post some same species sporadically. It was good to get out and spend some quiet time on the river bank and in the woods.
Thanks for Viewing.
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy”. (From To Kill a Mockingbird).
This common bird in the south posed on top of an old gnarly cactus with the clear blue sky showing through the trees in the background. I like the pose on one leg.
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
