Description
Several unrelated groups of songbirds are called catbirds because of their wailing calls, which resemble a cat's meowing. The North American catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), of the family Mimidae, is 23 cm (9 inches) long and is gray, with a black cap. It frequents gardens and thickets.
Individual catbirds (and numerous other species) return to the same habitat patch to nest year after year, as long as they are fortunate enough to survive from one season to the next. Studies have shown a roughly 60 percent annual survival rate for catbirds. Catbirds return to the same site on the wintering grounds every year as well.
Captured in Cape Cod, Massachusetts

The Catbird is one of my favorite birds...they always look so formal...and they are so friendly.
