GC alerted me to the presence of the elusive catbird in the bushes outside of our living room window.

It’s very hard to capture these elusive creatures on camera (do we still say “on film”?). You can’t approach them directly – you must shoot through windows with screens. The morning sun streams into the lens, and the catbird is black (affectionally called “Lilah”).

Catbirds never stay long in one spot. There is always a distraction somewhere, calling them to investigate.
