I saw a little catbird in silhouette above me on a power line just at dawn yesterday morning, singing his heart out here in Nashville, Tennessee. Thought it was a mockingbird at first, until I saw the short tail. I'd never heard a catbird singing before. Suspected his identity from the brief glimpse I had of him before he flew into the adjacent tall white pines. A google search turned up your video, which confirms my identification. Many thanks for making and posting this -- it's wonderful.
I have had catbirds scream at me to go away, when I go out to the patio to sweep. But now I also will recognize when they are singing.
Today I put a huge sunflower plant on the heap. The catbird was hunting around the exposed roots. I suppose to find grubs, worms, or insects.
I love my two catbirds, they are a nice slate grey with blackish trim and very sleek.
