This mockingbird was perched on the mailbox when I came home. He didn't budge while I drove in the driveway, then noticed the mailman coming around the corner. I walked out to the end of the driveway, within 15 ft of the bird and met the mailman to get the mail. The mailman went by the mailbox, and the mockingbird stayed! I went and grabbed the camera and took this at about 8 ft before he finally left.
Pete....you have a talent for taking bird photos....that's for sure.....and they do a good job of posing for you....This is an excellent image.....I like it very much.
