The Grey Catbird was the very first bird I photographed when I got my camera. It flew right into my in-law's yard in Pennsylvania and landed on an old wooden fence in nice lighting, giving me the very false impression that bird-photogrpahy might be easy). It's a somewhat plain bird, but one that will always occupy a special place in my memory.<br /><br />Thanks again for posting.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-49956043892316884482012-05-25T16:59:55.953-04:002012-05-25T16:59:55.953-04:00Laurence, I will end the suspense. You are correct...Laurence, I will end the suspense. You are correct. The little black cap is hidden by the angle of the head but you can clearly see the rusty under-tail coverts. I always forget to include size. This bird is a little bit smaller than a robin and sounds like a cat "meowing" when it is not running through its musical reptoire!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-46641855768604414472012-05-25T14:34:35.550-04:002012-05-25T14:34:35.550-04:00I hate to feel so uncreative, but with that rusty ...I hate to feel so uncreative, but with that rusty crissal and grey body, I dunno what else it could be.
