Catbird on a railing

Another of the images from my friend's backyard on Memorial Day. This was my first photo of a Catbird. We don't see them too often in South Arkansas. They are cousins of Mockingbirds and even mimic like them, just not as well.

I've not seen a catbird that I recall. Compared to other species they are pretty non-descript all dressed in gray. Their coloration should have made metering easy though.

nice job capturing the catbird out in the open, great detail; most of the catbirds I've seen are hidden in the brush

I also spotted the Catbird for the first time a few weeks ago..I managed a couple of shots using the 300mm f/2.8, and Kenko 2x combo.
Cool bird
