I love the Gray Catbird Bob! That is one of my more recent OC rarity scores.



edit: I better put a photo in this post. Lewis's Woodpecker
Correct orientation.



I love how woodpeckers use their tails for leverage and stability!

very nice shots everyone. Catbirds can be tough customers to see, let alone photograph. Good work Bob to come away with two great photos.

Lewis's is my favorite US woodpecker.

Yes, let's hear it for the woodies and their tails of power.

Pretty typical habitat for a Night Heron, no?



The egrets and even the gulls gave Mr Grumpy on the right a wide berth.

"I've a big bad bill and I'm not shy of using it!"

They were all scheming on snatching snacks from the bait tank of this fishing boat.

Just downloaded Collins' Bird Guide app for Europe.
Wow, it is like a Ferrari compared to eBird's Taurus.
