Here kitty, kitty


I've been hearing catbirds making their cat-like mewing call at a couple of places around the marsh, usually at the same locations, but hadn't actually caught sight of one (they like dense cover). Today I persevered when I heard one in a Glossy Buckthorn bush next to the trail by the sailing school, and it paid off. The bird finally came out into the open and I was able to get several decent shots. You can see the distinctive rust color under its tail, and the black cap on the top of its head in this shot.
