Gray Catbird
August 21st, 2009
Gray Catbirds are a common and widespread North American species, a member of the mimid family that also includes mockingbirds and Brown Thrashers. If you walk past a brushy tangle and hear what sounds like a plaintive cat mewing in the foliage, that's probably them.
This one was busily pigging out on berries--probably building up reserves for the migration that he'll soon undertake.
