Thank you! I know patience is one of the hallmarks of a great nature photographer. I'm not sure I'll ever have enough for a truly great shot. In this case I was already heading out, and paused for a moment along the trail to watch and listen. Fortunately I didn't have to wait too long for Mockingbird here to give me a nice pose!

I snapped one or two of the beak open in song, but the color was a little off. I think this is the best of the few I have.
