Amusement: Catbird

This is from my new series celebrating the beauty and wonder of the birds around me.

Each title indicates the emotion I feel upon encountering the bird in question, along with its proper name.

Catbirds are known as mimics -- their songs are made of of snippets from other birds they have encountered on their journeys. And they sing almost non-stop during the spring and summer! I love trying to decipher their "major influences" which sometimes include noises like car alarms and sirens... Plus they are super jaunty with their black toupees and rusty hinder.

Please note: The price includes a basswood frame, locally sourced from Vermont. Please click "room" and then "framed" to view.
