Today, I\u2019m sharing two hatch year Northern Mockingbird photos taken just forty-one minutes apart yesterday, each showing off a very different look and vibe.<\/p>\n

\"HatchHatch year Northern Mockingbird on a wooden post \u2013 Canon R7, f8, 1\/320, ISO 2000, +0.3 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

The first photo was taken at 9:18 a.m. and showed a young Northern Mockingbird perched on a wooden post with a nest box attached to it.<\/p>\n

In the background, an out-of-focus stand of pine trees was lit with dappled light that softly illuminated the trunks and green pine needles. Fortunately, I also had a nice angle of light on the bird.<\/p>\n

I like the simplicity of this mockingbird photo, the details in the bird’s plumage, and the soft light.<\/p>\n

\"HatchHatch year Northern Mockingbird perched on shed antlers \u2013 Canon R7, f8, 1\/320, ISO 1250, +1.0 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there was this second photo of a hatch year Northern Mockingbird<\/span><\/a>, which may even have been the same bird as in the first photo. It was perched on a shed antler, with sunlight falling on the pine-straw-covered grass in the background, while the bird was in a light shadow.<\/p>\n

Even though the poses of the mockingbird in both photos were similar, the light and the setting made these images feel very different. That is my opinion; yours may vary, which is perfectly fine.<\/p>\n

When I look at the first photo, I feel a sense of calm and peace, but when I look at the second one, I feel a touch of drama and a bit like I am on edge. Your reactions to the photos may vary as well.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it wonderful that we all think and feel differently? That diversity in perspective enriches our experience of nature and art.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
