At Ft. Desoto in Pinellas County, Florida there are a few Mulberry Trees. When in fruit in the spring these trees attract birds that gorge on the berries. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joe, not your usual IQ, something went wrong here, not sharp anywhere on the mockingbird...
Hi Ann, thank you for viewing and commenting. My guess would be the lens, not the best glass. Thanks again...Originally Posted by annmpacheco

Hi Joe, looks like the FP locked onto the leaves behind, it's not a keeper as the subject is soft.

Hi Steve, thanks for viewing and commenting. Looking further into the image the date of captured was in 2014 at the beginning of my bird photography. I was not paying attention to fine tuning the autofocus to correct front or back focusing then. The focus point was on the head of the bird but obviously not focusing correctly. Thanks again for chiming in...

Perch and expression are great, but I echo the comments about focus. Looking back at my stuff when I started 8 years ago, I can't believe what I kept then versus what I keep now!
The perch and setting are nice.
