[Leica] IMG: Gray Catbird

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

This bird is quite common this time of year in the Northeast. I know  
because I can hear him. But he's hard to find in the trees. He seems  
to blend in with everything. I have spent 10 minutes looking for him  
when I think he's only 15 feet away. But boy can he sing. Sometimes  
going a whole minute without repeating a line.
