Mockingbird Watches Approaching Florida Storm


Mockingbird  Contrasted Against Developing Storm Clouds

Big storms moved through central Florida Sunday. This Mockingbird in the backyard was high on a Loquat Tree preparing to feast on ripe fruit, but seemed to be more interested in watching the ominous clouds roll by. Mockingbirds and other birds do not sing in advance of an approaching storm. They know what to do. The difficult lighting provided an interesting contrast of bird and sky making the Mockingbird look more like a shadow-figure animation. Shooting in perfect weather and light does not always convey all the mysteries of nature. A good birder should be able to ID birds in profile!
