These were seen at a bird sanctuary in Massachusetts. Another beautiful day.

Gray Catbird.

I've seen a quite a few gray catbirds in my backyard, and I thought this one was a gray catbird too at first, judging from its unique black cap. But the white underpart really threw me off, because I haven't seen catbirds with white underparts.

That rufous vent is a dead give away for the catbird
