The catbirds have been very busy in our yard this year. Since they are generally not so easy to observe, getting to see them so much this year has been a real treat. This one had a little scuffle with a robin, thus the body fluff. They worked it out. Click on pictures to enlarge.

Catbirds rock
I love their colors, their sounds, and their curiosity. I can always see them out of the corner of my eye watching me as I walk along the hedges in the yard. I know where the nest is and take care to avoid it. I look forward to seeing little catbirds soon! Click on pictures to enlarge.

A female cardinal watches the sunrise. A sparrow peeks out at me. A mockingbird takes aim at a starling and takes over the fencepost. Click on pictures to enlarge.

It’s been wonderful watching the progress of all the families living in and around our backyard. I think we have a catbird pair building a nest back there now. I watched one come flying in carrying nest materials, including a plastic bag. I wish people would think about the consequences of throwing their garbage every which way. Click on pictures to enlarge.
