Grey Catbird: "Memory Made"
What memories are waiting to be made and never forgotten?
Pathways rarely taken and routine rituals disrupted.
Detours to the unknown, encountering the unexpected.
What memories are waiting to be made and never forgotten?
I took these photos July 1, 2025. I had planned to hike to a drainage pond to look for herons. Someone was picking wildflowers on the path to the pond, so I took a detour. I decided to walk around the outside of the pond and along a bike path. I was happily surprised to meet this Grey Catbird.
I have not had many opportunities to see Grey Catbirds up close. Another encounter as a result of taking a detour and seeing things that I would not have otherwise seen. Sometimes paths not often taken lead to pleasant surprises.
I love the posture you take for every walk. Always ready to be surprised. I think it’s almost impossible to have a day that does not contain something just waiting for our appreciation & delight!
Amazing pictures! I can't believe the detail and texture of his breast feathers! Just so beautiful ❤️
