Gray Catbird

It kind of "meeewww"s like cat. And I'm really trying not to make a joke about a hot tin roof. Trying.

Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Did you know we have a local cuckoo bird? We do! And it's another bird that's easy to hear but hard to spot.

Eastern Kingbird

Common Yellowthroat

These little warblers like tangled vegetation near marshes or wetlands, which is why I spotted one near a creek amongst all the tangly Witchhazel and Brook Alder.
