Nice capture Mike. The berries add a nice touch of color as well. Is this a female? Most of the mockingbirds around here are much more slim and trim....maybe they don't have to put on as much of a coat for the winter :) Nicely composed and presented. Thanks.

A really eye-catching shot, Mike - the colourful branches and berries make a great contrast to the bird's more subdued colouring. Excellent composition. Good work (And thanks for showing me what a mockingbird looks like; I don't think we get them in the UK.)

Very nice. How close did he/she let you get?

The bird definitely stands out in this one, Mike. I like that the branches make some nice diagonals and the bird makes a contrasting diagonal to the branches. I think the bird is a little bright though and the background looks like it's a bit grainy. Were you using a high ISO perhaps?

Nice shot Mike. The focus on the "Mocker" is good and the tree branch and berries make for a most natural and appealing setting. Well done my friend.

Very nice capturing and well forecasing too

Mike, you have a fantastic gallery and I love the birds! This lil guy reached out to me. He's puffed up against the cold and looks so cute. Very well composed with good colors and fine details of this cutie - his lovely markings, gentle eye and long tail feathers. The branches have lovely colors as do those berries. Super image and is saved :^)
