Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), taken July 11, 2026, in New Hampshire, US
A ratter gluttonous catbird picking as many blueberries as it can hold, likely to share with its young! Catbird nestlings are fed a diet of almost exclusively insects to start, but, as they approach fledging, berries and other soft fruits are introduced to their diet. This parent was working overtime, returning to this bush frequently to pick berries, stuffing its beak full before taking off again. It must have some very hungry kids!
