Grey Catbird and Friends

February 13, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

A Grey Catbird arrived yesterday and was working the multiflora tangles for berries in the front and back yard. I managed a few decent photos late this morning.

To my delight the Grey Catbird discovered the red grape stash so it should stay until spring weather arrives.

The Americans spell its name as Gray Catbird.
