Catbird with caterpillar

One of the reasons I chose to visit Skyline Drive last Sunday was because I was hoping to see some birds that I don't normally see here in my own yard. But who chose to show up for a photo session but this dapper Catbird with his caterpillar treat! I have Many Catbirds that I can photograph from the comfort of my chair! LOL He kept looking at me and dangling that thing almost as if to show his extraordinary prowess at catching caterpillars! The only other birds I saw were a flock of Goldfinches that were too far away for me to capture. I am almost always disappointed in the wildlife I see up in the park (except for that snake!) and I can't help but think it's due to the fact that hundreds and hundreds of people are there. Most of them drive way too fast and zoom in and out of the overlooks and go their merry way playing loud music and just in general being loud. It would probably be better to go on a weekday preferably when the weather is a bit uninviting......
