Gray Catbird
Dumetella carolinensis
Behind Quirk Auto, Bangor, Maine
​photo by Donne Sinderson

While waiting to find out about my car last week this gray catbird and what I think was a least flycatcher (Empidonax minimum) kept me entertained. The flycatcher was busy catching insects but this catbird must have had its breakfast. It was singing away like it was very happy with a complicated rambling song that helped identify the bird when I got back home. Thank goodness for the audio clips on Cornell's All About Birds website, the description in the Sibley Field Guide couldn't come close to explaining the real thing. The gray cap of the catbird is just visible in the photos above. The brownish-red undertail feathers do not not show up in the photo at all but is another clue to identification.
