I added some strawberries to our backyard feeder and attracted this catbird who has been hanging around all day tearing up a strawberry! He seems very happy!!
Yes, it is named a Grey "Catbird" because of its sound - although I haven't really heard a call that sounds like a cat. Catbirds are related to mockingbirds but catbirds are smaller and their breast is darker (mockingbirds have paler breasts). They are both aggressive birds and they do have similar songs.
Cat bird? Because of the way it sounds? It looks like a mockingbird
