I've seen these a good bit at the farm here lately (April/May). This one is hiding in the apple tree.
The catbird is in shades of gray and looks a bit like a mockingbird, but without the white bars on the wings. It actually has a sort of "meow"-y sounding song, at least at times. I don't know, but would suspect that would be the origin of the name.

Just curious (because I have an interest in birds): Is the "catbird" the same as the "mockingbird", or are they different breeds?
I'm not an expert, but catbird and mockingbird are not the same bird. They might be the same family, though, I don't know. They're similar in size and shape.
