Noisy Catbird

This Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), seen at Red Rocks Park, was not shy. Usually, they are heard but not seen, since they prefer the cover of thick shrubbery.

 

Their call is a raspy sound, similar to a mewing cat, or even a baby whining. But, I have been fooled many times by catbirds mimicking the calls of other birds.
