Mocking Jump

I am sure many of you have watched a Mockingbird on a tree or wire jumping up in the air and landing again in almost the same place.
Perhaps this is a territorial warning, or just a display for a partner.
I do not know:)
However since I am relegated to a zimmerframe for the next 2 days, and because the construction next door was prohibiting any chance of sleep, I sat on the front lawn and shot a jump set. This was the best layer set I could get where he stayed in frame.

Nice catch of it's maneuvers......I too have often wondered about they do this little demonstration of sorts and never thought to capture like you did......I like it !

Thanks folks, glad you found it interesting.
I was watching this display on and off, while I was actually looking for something more majestic in the area, like maybe a kite or osprey.
And this thing kept jumping up and down and I though, there is no reason my camera cant capture that.
And so I made several attempts, rapid fire and slower fire so they wouldn't overlap to badly,
and this as the result. It's always fun trying something different :)
And something majestic was jumping up and down saying, me me me
