       Today in my yard I saw a curious bird. It looked like a catbird,
slightly chubby and the same face too. But its coloration was strange. It
had the little black cap, and it was gray, but...its face and throat were
almost a peach color.
       It might have been the light when I saw it, but it was in the shade.
Might it be a juvenile Gray Catbird?
       Oh, and other signs of new life. I saw a baby Mockingbird today; it
can't fly yet. Very cute. I can hear baby sparrows in the birdhouses. And
everytime I go to the pond I see "teenage" geese. I love spring and summer
isn't far behind.
      Well, if anyone could tell me about that catbird, I'd appreciate it.
