Wow! All of your photos are amazing!!! Now I know your real name, too. No vivid colors, but your picture shows character of Catbirds. Nice composition. I like that you captured two birds together. Your notes are excellent, GRACE!!!

A stunning nature scene of the Catbirds birds interacting. Good camera techniques and nice stop action. I like the expression capture on their faces. Superb eye clarity. Since your focus was so sharp it just draws you into your photography. A perfect exposure and white balance. Very well photographed with excellent details. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

As soon as I started reading your description, I thought to myself, sounds like a mocking bird. Yep, I was right, in the same family... interesting notes.

I've only seen them twice here. Once at the wetlands and once at the zoo (not caged).

Your details are fabulous and your capture is perfect on branches.

Nicely done Grace.

What a stunning shot of these two catbirds! The composition and framing with the branches is excellent! The lovely muted background really gives it good depth and highlights the beauty of the scene. This is just gorgeous!

Beautifully photographed with spot on focus, the image is clear , well controlled exposure, natural colors and tones, nice detail n both birds, good eye contact in both birds with catchlghts in the eyes. Very well composed with a bird on each branch . Blue sky shows them off perfectly ! Well presented, awesome camera work!

How cool are they! I love the story that goes with it, it sounds like a sweet sounding bird. We get little white and black ones. We feed them so it's always nice to hear them singing. You have captured a nice shot of those catbirds! Well focused and the colors really pop! Thank you for sharing! :D

Very informative commentary on these Catbirds. I did not realize the singing in phrases is typical for them. Great scene of these two. The branches running diagonally across the frame gives a nice sense of drama while the clarity and sharp focus makes these two look very natural. The blue background accents the entire scene. Very nicely done Grace ~ Steve

Very Cool,Grace!
Although I'm familiar with the 'Catbird's name I don't think that I've ever actually seen one so I'm really enjoying your fine looking photo of this pair of 'em,my friend! : D

    Thank you! They copy other bird's songs so it could be possible you have heard them :)
