A neighborhood mockingbird with a nice fat green caterpillar momentarily interrupted me and begged me to take his picture. Sorry mockingbird, I said, you are but a pesky yard bird who pecks holes in my ripening tomatoes. I am on my way to do some serious bird photography. Since he got the caterpillar from my tomato plants, I decided to oblige him with a shot. I think that I saw him peeking when I chimped the shot.
