It’s been a cloudy, gloomy day. Mr Gray Cloud seems to be the only one who likes this kind of weather. We had a little over a half inch of rain yesterday, which was needed. Now the grass seed I planted will finally start to grow.

A great gray owl perches on a branch in wild blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Its piercing eyes and patterned feathers are sharply contrasted against the light birch tree trunk!!!
This Gray-capped Flycatcher stopped to check us out while we were in search of the Speckled Tanager. I think he looked annoyed that we weren’t there for him!

While owls are generally thought of as nocturnal hunters, some, such as the great gray, are crepuscular, meaning they are also active during the early morning and later evening hours. In fact the several great grays I've photographed - including one at nearly this same spot a year ago - have been awake and looking for food in the middle of the day. I assume they have to, given that at this time of year they likely have hungry owlets to feed.
This owl's face is tilted slightly downward as it listens and watches for the tell-tale movement of small rodents in the vegetation below.

Gray Catbird.. The Catbirds have returned to spend the Summer. We have just noticed that all the Juncos are gone from the backyard and the Catbirds have arrived. I guess Spring is now officially here.
Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) - I was very happy to finally get some good photos of this beautiful shy bird while in Georgia and Florida recently. I have seen them other places lurking and calling from the shadows but have never managed to get a good shot. I saw so many of them on this trip that I had lots of photo ops and luckily this one was too busy chasing a hermit thrush around that it wasn't paying much attention to me.
Here again the Olympus image stabilization saves the day with a sharp shot at 1/60 in the late day shade.

Mrs. Circled Thrice and I hosted a flock of these guys at our picnic table by the lake. They weren't invited, but they were entertaining guests nonetheless.
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"The deceptively cute Gray Jay is one of the most intrepid birds in North America, living in northern forests year-round and rearing chicks in the dark of winter. Highly curious and always on the lookout for food, Gray Jays eat just about anything, from berries to small animals. They may even land on your hand to grab a raisin or peanut. During summer they hoard food in trees to sustain themselves through bleak winters."
Gray Lady is an ex Thames Conservancy Launch that was built in 1938 by Tough Brothers of Teddington. She served as a patrol boat on the river Thames during World War II, and later as a pleasure craft. She is now moored at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, where she is part of the historic vessels collection. She has a wooden hull, a diesel engine, and a distinctive gray paint scheme. She is one of the few surviving examples of this type of launch, which played an important role in the history and culture of the Thames.
In the background is Henley on Thames bridge, which is a historic structure that spans the River Thames between Oxfordshire and Berkshire. It was built in 1786 and has five elliptical stone arches. The bridge features sculptures of Isis and Tamesis by Anne Seymour Damer on the keystone of the central arch on each side. The bridge connects Hart Street in Henley with White Hill, leading up to Remenham Hill. It is a Grade I listed building and a popular landmark for visitors and locals alike.
