Mockingbird Doing Yoga

Uploaded: June 11, 2018 | Entered: June 11, 2018 10:17:19

Description

This young Mockingbird flew down into the yard and started, what looked to be Yoga, or some sort of stretching exercises! It was just too funny. I got a few shots off before it flew off. Shot with Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 300 mm 2.8 L lens on tripod and gimbal head, through the window. Settings were f4.5, 1/750, ISO 100.
