Spent some time at the Turkey Creek Wetland in west Knox County Saturday
afternoon before being chased by a much needed downpour. Saw three birds
foraging in the path some distance ahead of me. One was a Brown Thrasher,
another was a Northern Mockingbird and the third, yes!, a Gray Catbird. A
Mimidae hat trick. I don't recall ever seeing the three together before.
Before I was finished I saw several Mockingbirds and Catbirds (including a
Catbird in the McDonald's parking lot with the House Sparrows) but that was
the only Thrasher. No waders or waterfowl. Several Indigo Buntings, a
couple Common Yellowthroats and a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher in addition to the
usual crew.
