Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), taken June 8, 2025, in Georgia, US
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!

Gray Catbird Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 1 Dark Forest
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.
