"There is no other bird in Alberta that can equal the Gray Jay for boldness. These 'Camp Robbers,' 'Whiskey Jacks' or whatever else they are affectionately called locally, quickly welcome themselves to passers by."

Black (melanistic) phase
Sciurus carolinensis
Virtually all Eastern Grays in this (northern) part of their range are melanistic. It is thought that the expression of this recessive gene has something to do with survival in the colder climes.

Gray Squirrel lives near our so-called "bird" feeder. He's adorable, and the shyest of the bunch - the black squirrel comes the most, the red squirrel slightly less than that, but a visit from Greedy here isn't as often.
It was a great day for squirrels! A lot of folks do not like squirrels but I think they are interesting creatures and very photogenic. Sure they pissd me ooff sometimes at my feeders at home but they have as much right to the free food as the birds.
Kensington Metro Park, MI
This is a gray elephant tail. Although it may match a variant fursona of another species. It is made from 1/2 inch long gray and 3 inch long gray faux fur. The tail is held on by 2 elastic loops. This tail is approx. 34 inches long and is comfortable to wear anywhere. It is very soft and cuddly.
I can make similar tails in many different colors. If you are interested in another color please contact me.
Certhidea fusca mentalis
Genovesa Island, Galapagos, Ecuador.
Endemic to the Galapagos. A controversial split of Warbler Finch was accepted by the SACC, despite the chairman of the committee and a world expert on Darwin's Finches voicing their dissent, see SACC prop 367.

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.

I had a new backyard visitor this week - a gray catbird. The Cornell bird guide calls it "A secretive, but curious skulker of dense thickets, the Gray Catbird is heard more than it is seen." True enough, it was it's strange call that drew me outside to look for it. The catbird is named for it's characteristic "mew" call that sounds vaguely cat-like.
As we came around the corner to see the gray fox's usual spot, we saw him sitting around the corner, patiently waiting for us to approach. He was sitting about 20ft closer to us than the younger fox in the background.
We sat and watched him mosey around the pathway in front of us for a while - it was another awesome experience!
I went looking for bluebirds, but they didn't cooperate with me. I settled for a pretty little junco. These are some of the cutest little birds. Nothing but cropping on this shot.
This Gray Fronted Dove, Leptotila rufaxilla, was photographed in Peru, as part of a research project utilizing motion-activated camera-traps.
You are invited to go WILD on Smithsonian's interactive website, Smithsonian WILD, to learn more about the research and browse photos like this from around the world.
I encountered the same Gray Fox at the same location as last week. This time I discovered why it was watching me so closely and didn't seem scared of me. It had a pup nearby. I didn't get good photos of the pup, but kept them for documentation. One shows it climbing a tree, something I've read that foxes can do but never seen before. This shot shows the parent vocalizing.
