One of several "record shots" confirming 2 gray Gray Catbirds present at this location through of the season.
Detalles de la observación
After multiple reports of GRCA present at this location for the current season, Kris Kristovich and I searched for the species at the Pond Springs area of Camp Polk Meadow Preserve. Kris saw a largish dark passerine fly low into a willow clump, so we approached to investigate. Upon reaching the area, we heard the "mew" call of 1 individual and confirmed the bird visually (and with the attached image) in another willow clump. Within 2 minutes, the second bird began "mewing" from about 30m away in the same habitat. This area comprises dense, boggy, riparian habitat, with willow, alder, and aspen. It is spring-fed from the nearby slope and generally remains wet throughout the year. The Pond Springs area is publicly accessible only from the shoulder of Camp Polk Road; we were conducting a bird survey for the Deschutes Land Trust and were able to access the habitat from the inside of the property.
