Tweed, indeed! My 2 cats would argue quite convincingly that all birds are Catbirds!

Wow…I love close-ups of feathers like that. It really does look like a tweed pattern. Amazing that you can capture that sort of detail. Good job, Klaus!

I like the catbird shot. I have never seen any around here. Am I right in thinking that they are called a catbird because of the call they make? I believe that is what somebody had told me.

Yep - that is correct - at least partially - they have something in their huge repertoire, that resembles a cat’s meow!
But for the most part they are more similar to the songs of the Mocking bird and only second to them in terms of variety of songs.

He (?) is cute. The detail in the feathers is definitely tweed-like. Very nice.
