Yesterday morning’s forecast called for rain. I decided I would do a little bird photography anyway, getting up before sunrise to visit the State Arboretum of Virginia in Boyce, Virginia. It turned out to be a beautiful morning. The Arboretum is one of four birding spots I visit regularly, and I call it “Mockingbird Alley” because there are so many mockingbirds. As expected, I came home with plenty of mockingbird photos, along with a decent bluebird photograph and a couple of keepers overall. The nice thing about returning to a familiar place is learning where to find the birds—and I’m convinced they’re getting used to me, too.
