During summer months Catbirds are often heard before they are seen, as they remain in underbrush and make a mewing call that sounds very much like a cat. But at other times, I have been fooled by a very different Catbird song, one with melodious notes copied from other birds.
This picture shows an early Spring Catbrid at Lake St.Clair Metropark, Michigan.
Taken earlier this year of Mr. Friendly. This guy allows me to take lots of photos at any distance. Hope he shows up again during winter. Click for large view.
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

Fairly small rail; short yellow bill, black face, and gray neck distinctive. Found in marshes with grasses or reeds; generally shy but often seen foraging at the edge of shallow water. Buffy juvenile often mistaken for much more secretive Yellow Rail; note different back pattern and the fact that if you see the bird well enough to actually note the back pattern, it is probably not a Yellow Rail. Common call is a descending high-pitched whinny; also gives a whistled "per-WEE" call somewhat like spring peeper but clearer and consistently two parted. (eBird)
We were hoping to at least hear the Yellow Rail that is sometimes found in this location. No Yellow Rail, but we were delighted to see this Sora come out into the open.

Small upright duck. Male is gray with a brown head, while the female is more heavily marked with pale marks on face. Nests in tree-hollows and can be quite noisy when perched up in the branches. Often abundant in urban parklands and grassy areas. (eBird)

Mom with seven almost adult youngsters. This section of the park was filled with little piles of fluffy young ducks trying to stay dry as the rain came and went. Mom, in the middle, came by to make sure they were all right.

The Catbirds are still hanging out with me. They seem to be happy that most of the migratory birds have moved on. Last year, they raised their first brood in my yard before moving on. I wonder if they will do that again this year.
Update 4/6/22: The adults left the yard last week but left behind three juveniles. They are still here but I am sure they will depart soon.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
Thank you very much to all your faves and kindly comments. It’s greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful weekend to all ;))
Wild. Facts: Overall, the gray brocket remains widespread and common, but it has decreased or even disappeared from near human populations. In Bolivia, the population appears to remain constant despite great hunting pressure, and it is the most common deer in Brazil, though it is declining in some regions. In Argentina, it is declining due to habitat loss and hunting, and in Paraguay, it has declined from regions with high human densities.
The gray brocket occurs in 14 national and provincial reserves in Argentina, as well as seven reserves in Bolivia, and numerous reserves in Paraguay and Brazil. Though hunting is illegal in many areas in the gray brocket's range, bans are generally not enforced. To prevent further population declines, hunting laws need to be enforced, stray dogs from human populations should be controlled, and local village populations should be educated to preserve the gray brocket populations. Additionally, population studies are needed to determine the status of the gray brocket, to be better equipped to help it.
Happy Wednesday! HBW!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Blue-gray gnatcatchers are, without a doubt, one of the most special and entertaining birds the US has to offer. With a pretty sky-blue back contrasting with a paler shade of blue, along with white and black, they boast what I think is one of the more underrated color combinations when it comes to Neotropical migrants, and I’m sure they know it because they sure like to flip those tails around (kidding, that’s a foraging technique). That isn’t the only thing about them that’s underrated; males are pretty great songsters too, emitting an intricate series of what is both their own little babbles and little phrases of other species songs. I even found yesterday that they are able to mimic new vocalizations on the spot. Unfortunately, these guys have the luck of returning earlier than the warblers, and they only get two weeks of fame before what many people consider the real show falls upon our forests. That’s okay, though- they get right to pairing up and nest-building and have fledged young by the end of June, so I think they couldn’t care less about how much attention we pay to them.

"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."
