Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis)
Gray Catbird perched on a branch just off of the Shady Oaks Trail out at Circle B Bar Reserve located in the City of Lakeland in Polk County Florida U.S.A.
A cousin of the mockingbird, these medium-sized gray songbirds are common across the warmer parts of North America, where they are frequently heard (but less often seen) in backyards and parks. They often return to the same summer territory year after year.
Catbirds’ bodies are a uniform soft gray, with black caps, and rust-red feathers under their relatively long tails. They often perch with a lowered tail and appear hunchbacked.
Smaller and slimmer than an American robin, catbirds measure 8 to 9 inches (20 to 23 centimeters) long.
