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?? LOL I could put my new Sigma 80-400 OS to good use there:ivar

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.
