Silent Birds, Secret Birds

Gray Catbird (juvie), Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 28 August 2017.

Gray Catbird (juvie).

Cool (upper-50s (F). Clear (cloudless). Calm. Quiet birds sneaking around in the shadows. Spotted a young catbird, some young Song Sparrows, and the like. Feels like fall out there.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
