Kiting Mokingbird at TTP

[paul_reeves]

On Sunday I went to Tommy Thompson Park not really expecting much but wanting to get out. At the gateway where the trucks going in during the week have to check in I found a Mockingbird singing at the top of a hydro pole. Then every minute or two he would jump up in the air and perform a kiting manoeuvre you would expect to see a Flycatcher do. I had to look it up when I got home but I discovered that this is mating behaviour and that this guy is looking for a girlfriend.

I took a few shots over several jumps.
