Nice repost by Peter. I too would crop to take out the branch. Nice mockingbird shot with good eye contact Bob!

Pete...Thanks! You are right it...the branch does not contribute at all...I do not know what I was thinking!

Peter did exactly what I was thinking with this RP when I first saw the image. It's a lovely bird which is well exposed and sharp. Good BG. Removing the branch really helped bring it to another level by removing the distraction which helps the viewer to better focus on the bird.
