Charlie Spencer Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Gray Catbird. It's in the same family (mimids) with the Northern Mockingbird you asked about earlier. If you heard it calling, it sounds a lot like a domestic cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Yep. See how it under the canopy of that redbud tree? (Yeah, the flowers are purple; don't ask me why it's called red.) Catbirds hang out in brush, cover, and understory, and are rarely seen in the open. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Agreed, Gray Catbird. Looks like it was singing, so it probably wasn't sounding like a cat at the time you photographed it.
