Singing Northern Mockingbird, Antelope Island State Park, Davis County, UtahSinging Northern Mockingbird – Nikon D810, f6.3, 1/1000, ISO 400, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light

It was nice to photograph this Northern Mockingbird singing in between the clouds and rain yesterday on Antelope Island State Park. I can hear far more Mockingbirds on the island than I did last year and certainly far more than when I first moved here in 2009. It seems that birds are migrating further north than they had before and in higher numbers and personally I believe that is because our climate is changing and changing fast.

I love to hear the Mockingbirds sing and try to pick out which birds they are mimicking.

Life is good.
