That's about the closest ID I could come to this bird. :o
I was out feeding the birds and shooting pictures when this bird kept flying up and eating all the bread and flying away so fast that it was hard getting a good picture of him.
Thanks for looking

Well, looks like you did get a good picture of him after all. I like the color, the pose, the sharpness. Some may find part of the bird a bit dark. If this looks too centered, then I would crop a bit of the left off.
Definately a mocker, my favorite bird. We have one here that sings whenever I'm in the garden. He will go through his riff of bird songs until he gets to the red-tail hawk. I always look up when he gets to that. I can practically hear him giggle and say "Made you look!".
Nice sharp picture, but the colors seem a bit off. The mockingbird is more grey than brown.
Framing wise its not actually centered since you have the tail sicking back a ways Would crop some of the double shaded line from the top !! ... I think he is looking for his next victim Those birds can be a terror !!!!
Hi All! Thank you for commenting. Each picture I have of this guy he's brown. I have seen others that are more grey. I didn't tint it on purpose LOL. So I don't know what happened. And the crop suggestion is spot on. I took a look at it and I think you are absolutely correct about the crop. That double shade behind him is distracting.
Here's the results. I also did an auto color correction, then I edited it and faded the auto color correction.
How'd I do?
Thanks.
