Mockingbird

While I did indeed set the stage for this scene, I certainly didn't coerce this Mockingbird into picking one of the berries and holding it in her beak while I shot! This is a good example of backyard bird-photography. By choosing some simple props and isolating the subject against a simple background, the typical viewer can not tell the backyard from the most exotic setting.
