Catbird

Catbird

The catbird is a relative of the mockingbird and thrasher; all are members of the family Mimidae. The song of the cat bird closely resembles the mewing of a cat. The catbird measures 4.5 inches in length and has a black cap and blue-black plumage. The North American catbirds range from the southern border of Canada to Central America, where they spend the winter. [BM] {FW}
