Title: Gray Catbird
Post by: Brian Bailey on December 21, 2008, 03:40:16 PM

I was very surprised this morning to find a Gray Catbird in my backyard (South Etobicoke).  He stayed for a few minutes, but I haven't seen him since.

While searching the bushes for the catbird this afternoon, I spotted a male House Finch completely lacking red colour.  Everywhere he should have been red, he was bright yellow.  I'm sure there is a technical term for this, but I can't remember it.

Xanthochromic?
