Title: Can you tell me what bird this is with the waxwings?
Post by: rocklakemama on September 18, 2016, 09:57:53 PM

N. Cole took this photo at East Point Park Bird Sanctuary of this large, greyish bird hanging out with the waxwings. Is it also a waxwing? Someone has suggested it might be a brown-headed cowbird. Can you identify it?

Not a Cowbird, bill is too pointy.
From what I see, overall gray bird, long tail and pointy beak so Gray Catbird.

Thank you! I just looked up images for juvenile grey catbird and I think you've got it!  :)
