They are the noisy mimic of the underbrush at the Great Swamp and one of my favorite birds to watch. Fearless in their curiosity, they will often pop into view on an exposed perch to see who is walking through their territory.

As I stood in the Overlook parking lot this weekend, this Catbird contentedly fed on a branch about 25 yards away from me. Oblivious to my presence as it went about finding its meal while I fired away. Life is good.
