Northern Mockingbird, Dragoon Mountains, Arizona.   This bird was hanging out in a tree near a waterhole and was flying out to run other birds off, then returning to its tree.  There seemed to be plenty of water, but this bird was having none of other birds sharing it.

It seems to be split 50/50. Some will disappear the instant they see you, others will fly up into your lens hood and build a nest there! ?

Thanks! Mind you, it doesn’t take these kinds of photos all the time. Hopefully you’ll get such an opportunity with a cool species sometime soon!

On average, you take better photos than I do.

I haven't even seen an Ammodrammus before. I think all of them are rare here.
