Description
Gray Catbird Dumetella carolinensis - A medium-sized, slender songbird with a long, rounded, black tail and a narrow, straight bill. Catbirds are fairly long legged and have broad, rounded wings.© Bryan Calk | Macaulay Library
Color Pattern
Catbirds give the impression of being entirely slaty gray. With a closer look you’ll see a small black cap, blackish tail, and a rich rufous-brown patch under the tail.
This one was captured in a rural area of southwest Saskatchewan, Canada.

Gorgeous catch of the Catbird, Blair! They are hard to get out in the open! Thank you for submitting this wonderful and identified bird image that is now featured on the homepage of Wild Birds Of The World - A Nature Photography Group - L/F

Thanks so much for your awesome comment and feature. You're right they are very elusive...I was fortunate to find a pair, fiercely guarding their nest and so they wouldn't move, thus affording me a great photo op.
