Gray catbird in my backyard this evening

I was taking photos of clouds shortly before sundown when I noticed a catbird, which birds are regular vistors to my backyard, with a yellow object in its beak. I got some shots of it perched on a tree branch and on the wooden fence. After watching it fly from one perch to the other for a few minutes I got this shot of its landing on the plant hanger.
