    Oh, we have Madder than a Wet Mockingbird in the snow too

    here's my buddy, i'm going to post this picture in a separate post in a bit but i'll also put it here so you can see the difference in proportions

    it can get tricky with bird ID from a tight shot because you get no size information but the Mockingbird in life is also substantially larger

    "My buddy" Mockingbird has extra white in his tail but you can't see it from this angle

    • Some challenging bright light on a good subject. Our first photography session of the tour centered on a small flock of Yellow-tufted Woodpeckers. He was backlit but this male was fairly cooperative

    A photo taken at sunset last night ISO 25,600. An amazing feat of technology & all that, because once most of us mere mortals couldn't photograph a hummingbird in any detail in so dark an environment
