Hiding in the shadows

Not the greatest picture, but I was just happy to see this catbird (I think it is) at our neighbor’s feeder among the usual sparrows. He refused to come out of the shadows so this is what I could get.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Nice catch of the retiring Catbird. I love to hear their song in these summer evenings.

Always cool to see a bird I've never seen before. Now I know what a catbird looks like!

it's nice to see that you get so many different birds to visit, and you also know how to present them very nice work BV

Yes, I believe it is a catbird. When you hear its call you know why it's called "catbird".

It is! They are pretty secretive, but wonderful to have around.
