I believe this is a juvenile. I love these birds as they are fun to watch, not terribly shy, and sound just like a cat!
The morning outing had been in the North part of the city. By the time I drove South the rain had cleared so I made a quick stop in Bankside!
Thanks for your visits and comments! They are all appreciated!
The Great Gray Owl is the world's largest species of owl by length. It is called a great gray, but it has mottled gray and brown feathers. They blend into the trees and background making them hard to find unless they are silhouetted on the top or branch of dead trees. Shooting in temperatures down to 20 below can be a challenge, but very rewarding.
I'm pretty sure this is a Gray-cheeked Thrush, correct me if I'm wrong., A thrush I don't see often, and actually a lifer for me.

Gray Catbird at the Oven of Central Park in Manhattan, New York City.
Rather plain but with lots of personality, the Gray Catbird often hides in the shrubbery, making an odd variety of musical and harsh sounds -- including the catlike mewing responsible for its name. At other times it moves about boldly in the open, jerking its long tail expressively. Most catbirds winter in the southern United States or the tropics, but a few linger far to the north if they have access to a reliable source of berries or a well-stocked bird feeder.

I have seen .. and photographed .. many frogs over the years but the Gray Tree Frog was a first for me. So tiny and so darn cute.
Thelonis was custom built in 1953. Ed Monk, Sr modified one of his 1920’s plans and it was built by Admiral Marine Works (Earle Wakefield) on Lake Union in Seattle. Although Thelonius looks very 1920’s, several features are more ‘modern’, such as glue-wedge hull (rather than caulked seams), V-drive engine under the cockpit (rather than below the wheelhouse), greater beam and headroom. Thelonius was cruised as far as Juneau, Alaska in 1915.

Did a birding trip with Rodrigo Reyes of Birdwatching Chile. From pelagic to the mountain environment in the Andes, we got great views of a large number of interesting birds, including many endemics. Great trip, and I strongly recommend Rodrigo.
