Mockingbird Sunset

A northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) perches on a powerline, clutching a freshly caught grasshopper in its beak. I captured the moment at dusk, which bathed the scene in a rich orange glow. The bird is nearly silhouetted against the sky—just enough detail remains to hint at its textures and form. I’m pleased with how it turned out; there’s something quietly dramatic about the balance of light, life, and timing.
