No cropping, no postprocessing.
(These shots were taken with Sugarzebra's 400 f/5.6 lens, totally hand-held.)

Very nice shot of what is clearly a live bird as opposed to stuffed or drugged. Well done. Fine lens well used ;-)a

Nice photo. I've noticed something about Mockingbirds since they were one of my favorite birds growing up. They seem to look different from region to region. Like that one there is more stubby and markings are different then the ones here that we had around in PA when I was little. I've taken photos of them in the OuterBanks and they also look different...shorter and stouter. The ones in VA and PA are slender. Is this a common thing?

Thank you for your comments, folks.
Michelle, the only thing I have noticed about these birds is that ours in Ontario are different from those in Florida.

Couple of very nice shots Peter. I've seen that same stance in #1 by a female Brownheaded Cowbird. Same shape and position too. I wonder if they are related.
