Northern Mockingbird

I took a quick walk around Lake Artemesia this morning, knowing that I can always count on there being a few mockingbirds, in addition to all the waterfowl.  This one was just sitting quietly soaking up the sunshine and let me get quite close.  I have loaded a close-up of a cormorant into extras.  I just love the color of their eyes.  

A black and white version of the cormorant can be found HERE.
