Hi Gordon, I see that this has not been commented on for 7 years, but maybe you'll see it. Your pictures are beautiful, by the way. I've been thinking about getting into birdwatching. Question...I was watching a bird earlier today up on a telephone wire, I ASSUME it was a mockingbird, since I heard probably around 15 or so different bird calls from it. Are there any defining physical characteristics of mockingbirds? I was kind of far away, so all I could see really, was that it was gray, had white stripes on its wings, and had large tailfeathers.
Hi Gordon, I had to laugh when I saw this shot going through your galleries (which are quite nice by the way). A couple of days ago, I got a short of this guys East coast cousin staring me down after I parked in front of the tree where their nest was. They were not happy with me!
