What a gorgeous day out today! There were several birds singing today at some of the various spots I visited today... how nice! Of course, one of the highlights today was a nice Northern Mockingbird at Ojibway Park. Tom, an Ojibway Park employee informed me that one had been around in a particular area, and sure enough, later on in the day as I was about to leave, it popped up into sight to give me good looks at this long-tailed southern beauty.

And of course, the star of today's posting. Thanks Tom!
Good Birding!

Nice mocker! I haven't seen one since late last fall.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set of pics! I'd give a lot for this much variety at this point...
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. I got lucky on the NM by just happening to run into some knowledgeable staff at Ojibway. The other birds are regular feeder visitors :^)
ReplyDeleteExcellent series. I saw a Mocker at Pelee a few years ago, so maybe they are moving into your area.
