The gray heron (Ardea cinerea), also called heron, is a bird of the order Pelecaniformes. It is widespread and frequent in Eurasia and Africa.
Black squirrels are very common in my area. They are a melanistic subgroup of the Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). They seem more aggressive than other squirrels, at least in my yard, so much so that only black squirrels remain by autumn, and they are continuously chasing each other as well as any other squirrels remaining.
This one was seen amid the fallen autumn leaves on a trail along West Grand Traverse Bay, near the point of Old Mission Peninsula, Peninsula Township, Michigan.
During summer months Catbirds are often heard before they are seen, as they remain in underbrush and make a mewing call that sounds very much like a cat. But at other times, I have been fooled by a very different Catbird song, one with melodious notes copied from other birds.
This picture shows an early Spring Catbrid at Lake St.Clair Metropark, Michigan.
Two more looks at this beautiful Owl. I have learned a few things about this individual and his travels since my last post and I will put together a photo story about his journey to here and his contact with humans.

Gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis, Mimidae) are among the least skittish passerines I come across frequently in the wild. That said, they do seem to put a leaf or a stem between me and them often.

Wild. Facts: Overall, the gray brocket remains widespread and common, but it has decreased or even disappeared from near human populations. In Bolivia, the population appears to remain constant despite great hunting pressure, and it is the most common deer in Brazil, though it is declining in some regions. In Argentina, it is declining due to habitat loss and hunting, and in Paraguay, it has declined from regions with high human densities.
The gray brocket occurs in 14 national and provincial reserves in Argentina, as well as seven reserves in Bolivia, and numerous reserves in Paraguay and Brazil. Though hunting is illegal in many areas in the gray brocket's range, bans are generally not enforced. To prevent further population declines, hunting laws need to be enforced, stray dogs from human populations should be controlled, and local village populations should be educated to preserve the gray brocket populations. Additionally, population studies are needed to determine the status of the gray brocket, to be better equipped to help it.
Happy Wednesday! HBW!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Blue-gray gnatcatchers are, without a doubt, one of the most special and entertaining birds the US has to offer. With a pretty sky-blue back contrasting with a paler shade of blue, along with white and black, they boast what I think is one of the more underrated color combinations when it comes to Neotropical migrants, and I’m sure they know it because they sure like to flip those tails around (kidding, that’s a foraging technique). That isn’t the only thing about them that’s underrated; males are pretty great songsters too, emitting an intricate series of what is both their own little babbles and little phrases of other species songs. I even found yesterday that they are able to mimic new vocalizations on the spot. Unfortunately, these guys have the luck of returning earlier than the warblers, and they only get two weeks of fame before what many people consider the real show falls upon our forests. That’s okay, though- they get right to pairing up and nest-building and have fledged young by the end of June, so I think they couldn’t care less about how much attention we pay to them.

"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."
