Where I grew up in Missouri, Catbirds were present, but not in the same density that I find here in North Carolina. Louis Cardinals on the radio in Ozark, Missouri. Lately it’s almost certainly my young son’s cry of “kitty-cat bird!&# As a kid and teenager, I’d listen to the St.

But that is supposedly still well east of us, having only been detected in Missouri this spring. Muir, thankfully, was not the least interested in the smaller mammal, and only a little confused about why our walk had been interupted. Moreover, it is not really an August disease, but a problem most often seen in hibernation.

The guides are organized taxonomically and laid out in the traditional Peterson manner—illustrations on the right, text of the left. Moths are more than bird food. Let that sink in.
