Mockingbirds

[Photoman]

Greetings to all

   Had a great opportunity last spring to photogragh a family of mockingbirds near my work at Dufferin and Finch. There were many mockingbirds flying around and I can also hear them sing as we had the back door open at the garage where I work. After work hours, I grabbed my gear and went to a dead end street where I turn around on my roadtests and I have seen many mockingbirds perched on a pine tree. I set up near the tree and there were 4 chicks on the grass chirruping away when momma bird came in with some food. One of my best shoots I had in a long time.

Enjoy
