What’s that mewing sound coming from the bushes – a cat? More likely a catbird! This time of year, these gray birds like to frequent trees and shrubs in search of tasty fruits to eat or bring back to their babies. Catbirds are relatives of the mockingbird; they share a knack for copying the sounds of other species to create their own songs. More like copycatbird!
