My shutter speed was a little slow for a flight shot, There was no time to change settings when this one launched from its perch.
Thorhild County, Alberta.
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.
Taken earlier this year of Mr. Friendly. This guy allows me to take lots of photos at any distance. Hope he shows up again during winter. Click for large view.
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

Thank you very much to all your faves and kindly comments. It’s greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend to all ;))
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!

The 'Bête du Gévaudan' - the Beast of Gevaudan - was a real wolf-like monster that prowled the Auvergne and South Dordogne areas of France during the years 1764 to 1767, killing about 100 people, often in bizarre circumstances.

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.

It will transfer it to its claws before feeding.

The worldwide range of a Gray-crested Helmetshrike is a small area located in northern Tanzania and southwest Kenya. My field guide indicates their range is less than 50,000 square km, and the eBird sighting map supports that. Their Conservation Status is Near Threatened primarily due to habitat loss. I wish I had more time to get a less obscured photograph of this bird.
Edit - I noticed that I got the units wrong on its range. I wrote "50 square km", and it should be "50,000 square km". Oops! Fixed.
Edit 2- 50,000 square kilometers is about the size of Costa Rica.
