Cedar Waxwings are back in town. I saw a small flock foraging for berries on my way home from work yesterday. This photo is from 2022.

Great Egrets give elegant and majestic looks with their side profile, but the front facing view with the googly eyes and long neck has its own charm.

Mockingbird, Morning

While Charlie and I were walking yesterday, I photographed what I believed to be a Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). ...

1/2

#photo #photography #photographer #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #NorthernMockingbird
"A young Northern Mockingbird stands alert in a patch of dew-kissed grass, its slender body angled slightly forward as if caught mid-thought. The plumage is soft gray and white, mottled with faint speckles across its chest and wings—like a watercolor sketch still drying. Its long tail, slightly fanned, suggests balance and readiness. The morning light is gentle, casting a silvery sheen across the damp grass, which glistens with tiny droplets. The background is a quiet blur of green, evoking early stillness. The bird’s round eyes, dark amber and focused on the photographer, remain calm—watchful but unhurried. As if it’s considering its next move or composing a song in silence. There’s no urgency—just presence." Microsoft Copilot with edits by the photographer
