Gray Catbird
A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasant surprise to see my first Gray Catbird back this year in my backyard.
My catbird pair has loved the woods bordering the marsh and would kindly let me see them briefly, even for a shot maybe, before disappearing yet again. I enjoyed those very quick meet-ups!
This day was no exception, but I do think he hung juuuust a little longer to say “Hi” and let me know he was back! 😉
Now if only he’d jump to another branch in the sunlight before disappearing on me….

I like how you can see a hint of his rusty rump in that last picture. 🙂
