Lone bird

We didn’t see many birds that day at the gardens, except this one, which looks like a mockingbird to me.

*****

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, located in northeast Washington, D.C., has an annual lotus and water lily festival in summer, but unfortunately the National Park Service couldn't hold it this year due to the pandemic. Luckily they reopened the gardens a few weeks ago, so visitors were at least able to see the beautiful display. They set up one-way signs on the paths through the ponds to allow for social distancing, and I'd say at least 90 percent of the visitors were wearing face coverings.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Google lens says it is a mocking bird. Suggest you put the Google Lens app in your phone and that point it at your computer screen and tap on the magnifying glass. It should come up with a good, or related ID for you. At least it will be a starting point.

Beautiful sharp capture of this mockingbird.

Yes...it does look like a mockingbird. If it was jumping on and off its perch, singing its heart out, it was a mockingbird!
