catbird not blackbird

The rain fell in the afternoon, but abated in the early evening. I walked in Timber Narrows Park in Murphy. I saw an American Kestrel with a small mouse in its talons.
I also saw a Gray Catbird, which I mistook for a Brewer's Blackbird until someone on the Facebook "What's this Bird?" page set me straight. I have only seen one once before, in Arkansas.

We dined at Zoe's Kitchen, where I had a turkey pita sandwich and fruit. Tomorrow I must get an oil change.
