Field Notes
Description:
A new bird for me. In some areas it is known as the Slate-colored Mockingbird. This species is named for its cat-like call. Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song.
Habitat:
Protected area with deciduous woods and a river. Chagrin River Park, Lake Metroparks systems, Willoughby, Ohio, Lake County, USA
