Gray Catbird mimics the songs of other birds, as well as those of tree frogs, and even mechanical sounds.
Gray Catbirds, such as this one photographed at West Rutland Marsh, love to hang out in bushes and thickets. While you don't always see them their constant chatter gives them away. They are considered mimics and can give a variety of sounds interspersed with an occasional cat-like 'mew.'
Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), 11/16/2023, The Landings Sparrow Field “Pollinator Garden Berm”, Skidaway Island, Savannah, Ga.
I've been so focused on my daily shots for the 365-2013 group that I've been neglecting my archives, including the hundreds of images from our January whale watching cruise on Monterey Bay.
It was a sparkling blue day - I did not alter the saturation at all on the above image - just converted it from RAW to jpg and straightened the horizon. (It's difficult to maintain a level horizon on a bobbing boat.) The spouts of this pod of 3 gray whales were a beautiful iridescent hue which you can see on the left. We saw 9 whales that day - this pod of 3 and later a pod of 9 whales.
I brought both cameras - the Canon EOS 7D with a 70-300mm lens, and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with the 24-105mm L lens, but we were so close to the whales that I put the 70-300mm on the 5D and shot with it for the rest of the day. In this particular image, the focal length is only 120mm, which gives you an idea of how close they were. We could hear them breathing, sort of a soughing, sighing heavy sound. The ~25 people on the boat were completely silent...listening and watching the whales in a reverential manner.

ellie, my weimaraner, will sit patiently for a portrait no longer than it would take her to eat a piece of chicken. this is her at her most irritated, refusing to look directly into the lens.
Rincón, PR. A ubiquitous but exuberant bird in western Puerto Rico. It appears to be thriving post-Maria.
Mexican Gray Wolf at Regenstein Wolf Woods in Brookfield Zoo.
Mexican wolves were once common in the Southwest but were wiped out in the mid-1970s, with only a few of the animals remaining in Mexico. Starting in 1998, 11 Mexican wolves were reintroduced to the wild in Arizona after being bred in captivity.
Although their numbers have grown, there are still only about 300 Mexican wolves in captivity, and another 97 in the wild, according to the nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife.
This guy always tricks me in not letting me close. he waits until I am almost at the right distance just to say haha and fly further away a few meters... So I always have to crop the crap out of his pictures but one day....
Another fully zoomed and heavily cropped image - I seem to have posted several of these grainy shots recently, lol. Can never get a close shot of a Gray Partridge, though I would love to, as they have beautiful colours and feather patterns. Posting this one so that I can include it in a couple of my Sets.
This photo was taken yesterday, 13 March 2014, when I spent the whole day SE of the city again, with friends Cathy and Terry. What a slow day it was for much of the time. Took us just over 6 hours to find the first Snowy Owl - just the tiniest, distant white speck on the ground, far across a huge field. We were beginning to wonder if maybe all the Snowies had already left to fly north, so we were happy to see this one, and a second one about four hours later, perched on a distant power pole. No photo opportunities for these owls, but it felt to good to know that there were at least these two owls still in the area. We had no luck at all finding a Short-eared Owl - very different from 7th March, when we saw 8 of them, six in flight and two on the ground. In addition to the 2 Snowies, we did see 9 Great Horned Owls, though, some on nests. Weather was beautiful with some interesting clouds for part of the day, clearing much later. Some of the fields looked pretty bare, while others were still covered in snow. The "heat-wave" distortion was really bad all day long. Does anyone know if there is a way to overcome this? It makes good, clear shots impossible.
Gray Hawk by Marthalicia Matarrita. One of many works in the ongoing Audubon Mural Project in upper Manhattan.
This gray hawk mural replaces a colorful painting of a magpie and pelican which got tagged up pretty quickly in its short existence.
