Yesterday, a handsome grey bird with a skinny, pointed beak and long legs hopped by my door step and disappeared into the shrubbery. This morning I heard the call and knew.
I have a grey catbird living nearby!
The picture doesn't do it justice; my new friend was very sleek, a supermodel of sorts.

From your backyard naturalist, have a bird-filled day!
I believe my little friend has taken up residence here. I hear its mewing call in the morning and I have been able to watch its ground loving behaviors for several days.
