My house was built in 1978 and is in a sparsely grouped "development" with a number of surrounding farms and some interspersed woodland. South mountain is appx 2 miles away as the turkey flies (?) and although i have seen them on the mountain before, never in my wildest imagination did i ever expect to see one in the yard. On SUN i was visited by my first observed Gray Catbird.
