Gray Catbird

Dumetella carolinensis

Description:

Gray Catbirds are plain lead gray almost all over. The top of the head is darker. The undertail coverts are rust-colored, and the remiges and rectrices are black, some with white borders. The slim bill, the eyes, and the legs and feet are also blackish. Males and females cannot be distinguished by their looks; different behaviors in the breeding season is usually the only clue to the observer. Juveniles are even plainer in coloration, with buffy undertail coverts.

Habitat:

Native to most of temperate North America east of the Rocky Mountains.

Notes:

Trustom Pond
