The secretive Gray Catbird, with its distinctive cat-like
mewing note, is a common winter resident in Florida.
Many pass through the state during migration.
Gray Catbirds breed from southern Canada to central New
Mexico and the Gulf states and in Bermuda. In the winter
most Gray Catbirds migrate to the southeastern United
States, Panama, and the West Indies, but some winter
north to Minnesota and southeastern Canada.
I found this one in my backyard, in Lake Wales Florida.

Habitat.
The Gray Catbird prefers low dense vegetation
or vine tangles often at the edges of forests, marshes,
and streams but does not occur in forest interiors. It finds
hedges and garden shrubs to its liking.
Gray Catbirds eat spiders and large insects and consume
grapes and berries in season.
I dusted off my SX50 today, and found this Gray Catbird in my backyard. Lake Wales, Florida.
