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.

"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."

Back to Tower Grove Park in the city, this visit featured lots of catbirds. I'm accustomed to seeing them as individuals, and there were perhaps a dozen seen during this visit.

This is a life bird. I was able to get some shots before the heavy rain.

This local celebrity is a rare bird for the Vancouver area and a *lifer* for yours truly.
Sometimes birds drop down right next toys when we are holding a camera. Such was the case with this catbird. I even forget what I was looking at when he appeared.
The Catbird nests across most of the US and southern Canada, and can be heard giving its cat-like whine or whimper as well as its imitations of other birds' sounds.
They are birds which I look forward to having back in the yard because of their cheerful appearance as well as their pseudo-enraged sound.
