A Grey Catbird takes a break from meowing at everyone so it can demonstrate how absolutely fabulous it is. It is deeply pleased by its own drama.

I adore Gray Catbirds and have never seen such a display - thanks for sharing!

@Haeven They're really great birds. This one spent a lot of time sitting on that branch, preening. This was the fanciest shot I got of it.

@angrykem I love catbirds - most years we have one in our tangle of a front garden - crazy noisy bird!

@aliza I love the way they go back and forth between that piercing meow and a bewilderingly beautiful song pieced together from the songs of other birds.

@angrykem I love that too. The one we have tends to just flat out scream at dusk... interspersed with lovely song
