Yes, the mockingbird can be an amazing songster!

I like the perch with the cluster of leaves. Good pose by the subject, but too bad the eye is seemingly in shade a bit. I also find the comp quite tight, especially at tail tip - if you have it I'd add back some canvas...if not then it should be easy to add in post with the unicolour sky.

Never seen them. Appreciate for the nice click. Just gone through youtube videos and found amazing voices.
