LD - Chalk-browed Mockingbird

LD - Chalk-browed Mockingbird (Mimus saturninus)

These are quite common in Argentina. I saw one or more pretty much every day ... as with the rufous-collared sparrows, the cattle tyrants, the eared doves and the horneros. Strangely, however, this was the only decent shot I got of one. Most of the time the mocked me by flitting away right when I thought I had one in focus. But here I finally got one, so: Today's lifer post.

Congratulations on finding your LD Ann;) Or this hard-earned one would have been lost, wouldn't it!!

A nice picture that - and a bird we don't see that often in here either.
