Regimen fascisticum delenda est!
We took a hike through the cholla patch today under mostly cloudy skies, but the sun came out for this Northern Mockingbird in profile. Not so much for the female Phainopepla, but I'll take one out of two for a Sunday afternoon...
THOU glorious mocker of the world! I hear
Thy many voices ringing through the glooms
Of these green solitudes; and all the clear,
Bright joyance of their song enthralls the ear...

I haven't seen many mockers in my backyard, so I have to walk around the neighborhood and look in other people's yards

If you know the rest, you know this composition is the right amount of somber...and almost feels monochrome but is not, as a cocksure Northern Mockingbird perches in profile among just bare branches and bokeh.
the mockingbird had been following the cat
all summer
mocking mocking mocking
teasing and cocksure;
the cat crawled under rockers on porches
tail flashing
and said something angry to the mockingbird
which I didn’t understand.
~Charles Bukowski, The Mockingbird

I trimmed the mesquite and collected fallen branches and built a pile for the birds and other wildlife (hopefully not snakes)

A mockingbird standing on a rock, with its breast and back feathers fluffed out as it dries out after recent rain.
A mockingbird with a case of the Mondays for #MockingbirdMonday: this mockingbird looked somewhat downcast as it fluffed out its feathers to dry out after getting caught in the rain.

🪶 Here's that mockingbird from this weekend's hike yodeling in the wind up on a wire for a little moment of Zen on #MockingbirdMonday... 🎶
Also counts for #BlueskyMonday & #MountainMonday since I was so damned determined to zoom out. ⛰️⛰️

I plomise, this is my last edit. This one started as a landscape! One last tight crop on the text-book Northern Mockingbird posture; head up in profile, legs bent and wings pointed down with ass feathers pointed up... golden (read dry) Mojave desert floor composition and nice light. Mockingbird Zen.

So I call all my Northern Mockingbirds "Dick" now... this one reacts while perched on a thorny branch.
Thomas Jefferson had a pet mockingbird named "Dick".
There's no joke... it's just #MockingbirdMonday. 🪶

A gray bird with black wings with white patches perched in a tree on a brilliant sunny day with a bright blue sky. Its beak remains closed, for once.
Looking all dapper and actually not singing the song of its people at 6am. Over and over. And over. I really do love listening to their repertoire. Just not so early and right outside my window. 😆🪶 #MockingbirdMonday #Arizona
Since it’s #MockingbirdMonday
— my watercolor entitled ‘Morning ‘Mockingbird’
The mockingbird, Mimus polyglottos, was selected on April 11, 1933 as the state bird of the great state of Tennessee.
