Catbirds have personality plus.
They not only are gifted ventrilo-
quists, but they possess exquisite
singing voices, ranking third as
singers among the mimic thrush
group. Their mimicry of tabby's
cries account for their name in
part; their feline habit of stealing
baby birds is another reason for
their name, catbird.
Catbirds love thickets, grapevine
tangles, greenbriers and shrubs for
hiding places. They are found
throughout the United States west
to the Rocky Mountains, from
Washington, Idaho and Utah north
ward into the provinces of Canada.
