Gray Catbird

Catbirds have the most annoying call (like a dying cat or distressed baby) and the most beautiful song (like a mockingbird).  This one was singing his heart out.

See here to hear what I mean.

Catbird

The Catbird is annoying with it's cat cry that sounds like a cross between a baby crying and a cat.   But it also has a beautiful trill that's sort of like a Mockingbird. You can hear the the calls here.  I think they have a nest in one of our trees, they've been hanging around a lot.
