The gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), also spelled grey catbird, is a medium-sized North American and Central American perching bird of the mimid family. It is the only member of the "catbird" genus Dumetella. Like the black catbird (Melanoptila glabrirostris), it is among the basal lineages of the Mimidae, probably a closer relative of the Caribbean thrasher and trembler assemblage than of the mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers. In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird.
Since discovering the existence of the Gray Catbird a couple years ago while visiting Vernon (after living there for 17 years and never seeing one) I find myself going out of my way to find them so I can watch and listen to them. I find their curiosity and chatter entertaining - they are related to the Mockingbirds and Thrashers and mimic other birds, stringing the sounds together to make their own song.
How many days in a row can I wear a different gray outfit? Last time it was 22 days!

Actually, the fox wasn't howling -- was more of a high pitched, yipping bark.

This Gray Catbird I managed to get mid morning in the undergrowth, so i'm happy i at least got a shot
Gray bat (endangered): About twice the size of the eastern pipistrelle; hibernates in very large numbers in only a few, vertical caves; forms looser clusters than Indiana bats but common habit of bats hanging upon other bats produces multiple layers in some clusters; frequently hangs with wings unfolded; fur uniform medium gray but bleaches to reddish by spring and early summer; summer colonies form in caves in river valleys or near lakes; makes large guano mounds in summer caves; highly vulnerable to disturbance during all seasons (arousal during hibernation causes depletion of fat reserves; disturbance of maternity colonies causes panic and may produce mortality of young)."

This miniature version of Mockingbird is constantly on the move. The movement and its constant singing make it easy to find. However, its constant movement also makes it tricky to photograph.
A small colony of Atlantic gray seals on a rocky outcrop in the Farne Islands, off the coast of Northumberland, England. Their Latin name 'Halichoerus Grypus' literally means 'hook nosed sea pig', which is somewhat unjustified as they are a quite handsome animal!
They are a large seal, and the bulls can grow to over 3 metres in length, and weigh about a third of a ton!
