There had only been three recorded sightings of this bird on Haida Gwaii when this Gray Catbird came to my yard. I took a few photos before he flew off.

Love the composition and surrounding details in this image. That's a really cute looking Catbird and you captured him very nicely here.

Very nice image Harold, the catbird is a real cutie especially sitting on that stump. I really like the composition and all the texture that the stump and tree add to the image.

Like very much the compo of that shot Harold. Lot of things here and there but everything is well balanced and very pleasant to look at. Like the capture of the bird in a very cute attitude. They are common here too. That guy like to imitate all the sounds he hear, bird song, or any other sounds. Hope you will have a chance to hear that.

They are very common here, Harold. I have them in my yard often. I'm glad you got to see one.
