I expected to see a Mockingbird when I heard this jaunty fellow calling.

Like the Mocking Bird, Catbirds can imitate other birds as they sing.

The bright feathers under the tail gave him away as a Gray Catbird.

I like his body expression, important guy.
He was quite a flirt, Hans., flipping his tail to attract attention.
Sweet little guy. Nice photos, Ellen!
Thanks, Belinda!
