Gray casually sauntered over to us while we were exploring the Strathcona neighbourhood yesterday. He graciously accepted some pets and then while moseying among the ferns, he stopped and artfully posed for my camera.
It was a perfect walk, long but not arduous, lots of interesting scenery, one charming cat, a few dogs in windows and on porches, a few chats with passersby, a stop for coffee and a pastry at a charming spot where we met more people and a dog named Einstein,
a back alley with a laden clothesline and rustic garages, beautiful old tall trees lining the streets, very little traffic, only bicycles and strollers, balmy weather and a public bathroom in a park at the end, can't ask for anything more, it was perfection.

The Gray Jay, or Canada Jay, also known as "camp robber" is a feisty little alpine bird that will literally land on you to steal your food. Which makes it one of the easiest birds to photograph - provided you cared to carry that long lens up the mountain.
Here's another bird I see at Point Reyes, usually several times per visit. The male version of the Northern Harrier, also nicknamed the Gray Ghost, silently appearing out of nowhere. They tease me. They fly in front of my vehicle. They land in back light. This one was just late afternoon, pretty far away.
This Gray Catbird was seen (and heard) in Patterson Wharf Park in the small community of Tatamagouche, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, Canada.
No matter how many times I visit a place I have found that no two trips are the same. Earlier this month in Costa Rica was no different. On this trip one thing that really stood out for me was how many Gray-crowned Yellowthroats we saw and just how very cooperative they were. I’m not sure what exactly was different this time but I sure enjoyed all the yellowthroats.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Geothlypis poliocephala
Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song.

The gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), also spelled grey catbird, is a medium-sized North American and Central American perching bird of the mimid family. It is the only member of the "catbird" genus Dumetella. Like the black catbird (Melanoptila glabrirostris), it is among the basal lineages of the Mimidae, probably a closer relative of the Caribbean thrasher and trembler assemblage than of the mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers. In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird. -

This bird, the Gray Kingbird, is a lifer for me and never expecting to see it land on a snag in the middle of a pond in Green Cay. The bird allowed a couple of shots and flew to get away from a group of European Starlings that were attacking it.
