Great that you were still able to focus on the eye too. You are right about it being ferocious...I have seen mockbirds swoop down and actually hit people while defend their nests! Daniel Cadieux

The mockingbird is also the state bird of Florida. I love the feisty little things, having been attacked more than once when accidentally walking too close to the tree containing her nest.

C/C welcome.

GaryFairhead Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 28, 2005 09:04 | #7 The angle in the first shot demonstrates the peripheral view this bird has. It certainly appears to be looking back at you even before turning his head side ways.The second photo has nice light and detail especially in the upper back and head area. Gary Fairhead C/C welcome .....

I wish i didn't clip the tail in #1. I'm just not used to handhold the heavy lens. Fee
