The gray catbird is a common sight in urban gardens and parks, known for its distinctive call that sounds like a cat meowing.
The catbird's mewing call is often heard in the early morning hours, a distinctive sound that sets it apart from other songbirds.
In the spring, the catbird's call is a familiar sound in many backyards, as the birds establish their territories and attract mates.
The catbird's ability to mimic other sounds, including car alarms and animal noises, has led some to call it a "mockingbird of the north".
