Mockingbird of Ohio

Did some birding while waiting for the Cape May - Lewes ferry. New Jersey.

It's been really quiet for bird activity lately. On a brief outing all I saw was this Mockingbird taking in the late afternoon sun on a Spring-like day (14C/57F in mid-February!).

These 2 Northern Mockingbirds were fighting at a local park. They just kept diving at each other and locking claws. After a couple of minutes each gave up and went their own ways.

Eyeing my backyard feeders...

A mockingbird watches from our bald cypress tree where they have a nest. I was up on the deck trying to capture them and I think this shot is pretty cool.

Really liked the isolation here when the mockingbird landed on this dead tree along the trail in the woods.

My 'blind' overlooks this natural perch, a special branch, which is highly sought after and for which an obvious pecking order exists. The Belted Kingfisher, shown in the pictures on either side of this one, has dibs on this branch most of the time. When she leaves, others make use of it. As the Kingfisher left, the Mockingbird emerged and took over, where it remained until it hurriedly left when the Kingfisher returned. The branch is unique in that it on the fringes of the wetlands, hangs over both land and water, and, as such, offers a hunting perch for both land and water foraging birds. It's just the right height and offers a great view.

Probably one of the prettier Mockingbird images I've ever made. It was a decent angle too - the bushes were on a hillside and I was rather even with them from an overlook, so not my typical bird-way-up-in-the-tree shot.

On a light post in the parking lot next to my dentist’s office. The best camera for the shot is the one you have with you.

Pretty sure this is a Northern Mockingbird, Mimus polyglottos, but the photos on line are a lot fatter!
