Catbirds at Magee Marsh during The Biggest Week in American Birding were almost too easy. They were everywhere, they were close, and they were totally unconcerned with the human traffic on the boardwalk.

I like this sequence because of the light and shadow contrast.

This individual was a bit grubby from digging for grubs.

And finally, this is the very first bird I shot at Magee Marsh.
