Gray Catbird

          The bird I did my Presentation on was the Gray Catbird which is a medium size bird that is slate gray, reddish undertail covert, and a dark eye and bill. The Gray Catbirds can be found in dense shrubs, and thickets of young trees in both the winter and summer. Catbirds from across North America to spend their winters along the Gulf Coast from Florida. Once the bird finds a good area they make their nest 3-10 feet from the ground made out of grass, twigs, weeds, and pieces of trash. they have nesting they usually have 3-5 eggs that has a greenish blue color. The food that they eat is insects like ants, beetles, and grasshoppers, they also eat fruit like blackberries, cherries, and elderberries. The interesting thing about catbirds they meow like actual cats so You never know if it's a cat or a catbird making meow sounds.
