Drove to my Uncle's farm today to pick up my boat. They have a pretty good variety of birds, but really shy. I didn't bring my blind along, so I just hoped my presence wouldn't bother them that much. Hah. They had a rose breasted grosbeak, but just like my neighbor's, it is so camera shy. Someday.... Anyway, I have no idea what this last bird is.

A catbird. Well, I'll be. Thanks for the ID Mike, and thanks all for the comments. I believe that is the first catbird I've ever seen. Hey, another first, even if it's not a real keeper.

Buzzsaw is right. That last pic is a catbird.

They're known to mimic many sounds as the name implies, they sound like a cat. I've seen/heard them mimic a brown thrasher before. Amazing birds.

I was reading the MN Conservation Volunteer and it was stated the author heard what they thought was a Bobwhite Quail, only to find it was a Grey Catbird.
