Stayin' Alive

Gallery: AvianPosted June 22, 2013202 views11 comments

Most of you remember the movie Saturday Night Fever?
The Bee Gees sang "Stayin' Alive" as one of its hit songs.

My Mockingbird's 'Stayin' Alive' in this 94 degree heat today.
He makes frequent trips to the waterhole, finds some shade, then does his version of disco dancin'

F/4, 1/3200th, ISO 640, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x around noon in the shade, no flash.

Great action Howard. Babies and birds

Just tell the bird that 2011 is history and the high 90's are a walk in the park.

Looks like he's taking a bow after his disco dance. Nice detail.

I watched one doing the same thing where I was picking up a pizza last night! Nice action and comp! Mockingbirds can be so animated and you captured the antics well. Sharon
