Northern Mockingbird

I always have a tough time staying in one spot long enough for wildlife to come to me; I feel better when I keep moving and appreciate it all the more when I’m lucky enough to stumble upon some wonderful surprise. But recently I’m learning that if I can manage to sit still in my backyard for more than a few minutes I just might catch sight of some colorful birds. Of course, sometimes my patience doesn’t pay off — but I believe I shall be spending a bit more time watching for birds in my backyard.
