Gray Catbird Nest in Berlin
Sighting Date:
August 16, 2011 Julie Pratt gives an update on the gray catbird nest she has been watching in Berlin: "Catbird nest empty today. But did hear parents making noise further away from the nest. And witnessed them carrying bugs and worms into the hemlocks, which are not too far from the nest. Disappointed that they are not as close as they used to be, but hope the chicks are okay."
