Gray Catbird.


Gray Catbird

    This common North and Central American bird is called a Gray/Grey Catbird. It gets its name from the The various cat like calls that is makes. Soundbyte link. Gray Catbird Call . This bird is easy to identify and not very shy. It is primarily gray in color with a black or dark grey cap on its head. If you look close enough you will see a red or cinnamon color under it's tail feathers. Many people confuse this bird with the Mockingbird. This a pleasant bird that seems to always be singing and meowing. They like the forest edge and will eat a variety of food from worms, bugs, seeds, and recently discovered at my feeders, they love oranges...who knew.
