    Is this a Gray Catbird eating my oranges?

    I have orange halves out waiting for the Orioles I am hoping to attract and when I arrived home this evening I noticed that they had all been sampled.  A few minutes after I went inside I noticed three of these guys having a feast.  I am pretty sure they are Gray Catbirds but I have never had them before and I haven't read any where that they eat oranges.  Are these catbirds?

    You have to live through a little rain in order to see a rainbow!

    I agree with barredowl, gray catbird!  I can't wait to see them again--soon, I hope.  I saw the first hummingbird of the season yesterday!  I love to watch birds!

    I have 2 catbirds that I feed but they have never tried my oranges so I quit putting them out. But I think I will try again after seeing your pictures. They love my homemade suet and mealworms though.

    Great pics. I love our gray catbirds. I only put out birdseed and suet but will try some oranges now.
    Happy Birding!
