A fledgling Gray Catbird, who wanted his/her parents very much. The little one was very attracted to the shutter noise, which brought them closer to me. Click for full size.

That is so cool! We hear them from time to time but rarely ever see them. I love photo #5, “What is that? Will you feed me?”
I hear them now and then, but I have never seen one at home, and only rarely when out and about. Poor little baby, he wasn’t very good at flying, and he really did want a parent, I don’t think he cared much about what shape they came in. :D
I’ve seen a few of these that were raised by sparrows -- quite a struggle to keep thei much larger ‘adopted’ young fed.
Awww. Catbirds are one of the few that recognize cowbird eggs, and break them, then toss them from the nest.
I love the textures of the plumage.
