Don't we all love our backyard?
Not the sharpest pics, but keepers.
I love how this bird sings and imitate other birds.

    Hey Dick,

    I was in Aruba 10 years ago...trust me, your back yard is better than my back yard. I would love to come back. Is that towel boy job still open at the Tamarin?? Laughing.gif I could put my new Sigma 80-400 OS to good use there:ivar

    You're very welcome here, but I'm not sure about the towel-job.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Well Dick, now that I know where Aruba is, I think you have a great backyard.
    I have never seen a mockingbird so thanks for the share.

    Thanks.

    It's really a very common bird and locally they call it "Chuchubi". Their song is very beautiful.
