Here's a bird question.
According to one of the major bird identification books, I have two catbirds hanging around the yard. According to the book, they are "shy" and avoid people. These two (especially one) are anything but shy.
Last week one sitting on the window sill looking into the house. In the spring, when rototilling the garden, one flits from one end to the other, looking for goodies in the freshly turned earth, never mind the noise from the rototiller. He? also comes and hangs out many times when someone is weeding the garden or otherwise around. And he gets close. Maybe 10 feet away.
Did I mis-identify this soloid gray bird? Or did this particular individual simply fail to read the book and is enjoying lots of goodies by being not so shy?

This does not seem good. Birdman? Is it the windmills?
