A catbird taking a vigorous bath in the evening sun! This guy came back a couple times to bathe, but this was my best video of it lol. He hopped in and out of the water so much that it was hard to keep my camera on him. Obviously, he was very dirty!

The first sighting of a Gray Catbird is always a joyful event.
They can be quite chatty, at times, and are excellent mimics of the calls of other bird species.
