Another neighborhood photo walk. This time the focus was on birds and wildlife. Our neighborhood is a designated wildlife sanctuary and sometimes we are given a treat. Took out the 70/300 lens this time.
This Northern Mockingbird was feeding its young in a Houston, TX back yard.

Vaughn spotted this mockingbird this morning and told me to grab my camera. it stayed long enough for a few shots.
Tucson, Arizona
Dunbar (Northern Mockingbird) has gotten pretty used to me now. So much in fact that he ignores me even when I have the camera.
In this image he is perched on a Crepe Myrtle tree branch, patiently waiting for the other birds to arrive so he can play his part (bully) in the bird show.
It appears that Dunbar has decided that the little swing feeder and the main feeder are his and no one else is allowed to partake in the treats that belong to him. And for now, it appears that he has given up on trying to control the other four feeding stations.
All of the beauty berries are gone as well as the Simpson stopper berries. So, Dunbar doesn't have to worry about guarding those either. The berries really went fast this year. In the past berries lasted beyond February when I cut the bushes back in order to stimulate new growth. When I did cutbacks, I would leave the branches that had berries on them beside the bush so the birds could pick through them. There will be no need for that this year.
Have a splendid day, happy snapping.
Mockingbird.

Mimus gilvus (Tropical Mockingbird / Sinsonte tropical)
The Tropical Mockingbird is the neotropical counterpart to the Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottus), replacing Northern Mockingbird south of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The two species are similar in appearance, but Tropical Mockingbird has less white in the wings, lacking the white primary coverts and white bases to the primaries of Northern Mockingbird.

I spent lots of weekends at my farm and this mockingbird always greets me. He is usually there within 5 minutes of my arrival, then he will spent hours looking at his reflection in outside mirror. I guess he is waiting for his reflection to speak.

This is the only location where I have seen Northern Mockingbirds feed on nectar. You can see the pollen making a colorful patch just above their throat. Interesting behavior to watch.
