Texas Mockingbird On Fence

Wildlife photography can be very rewarding when you get the shot you were after. I have spent a lot of time before perched in a tree, hiding in a car, or behind a bush waiting to get the perfect shot of whatever subject (animal, etc) I was after. Animal can do unexpected things and the pictures don't always work out. In this instance I took quite a few pictures to arrive at the final shot I like. A Texas Mockingbird perched on a rusted fence amid shoots of cactus all around it. It reminds me of how wild some of Texas still is and the creatures that inhabit it. A quick glance at some of the my photography will prove that.

The Mockingbird is actually the State Bird of Texas. Adopt in 1927, this famous mocker is very well known throughout Texas and surrounding states. Its also one of the most interesting to watch and hear, as it can be known to torment other birds and creatures and famously "mock" the calls of other birds. It's call is very pretty and well part of the noise on any Texas landscape. They are quite clever things too.
