Identification - It is larger than a robin and appears to be a long, rangy, powerful looking bird. The upperparts are a rich red brown, including the wings which have two distinct white bars. The bill is long and mostly dark, the face is grayish, and the eyes are golden. The underparts are white with a buff wash on the breast and sides and sharply defined brown streaks from the throat to the belly.
Morsels - The Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, and Northern Mockingbird all belong to the Family Mimidae. As the name suggests, the birds are mimics, adding imitations of other birds to their own vocal repertoire. Yet each mimic displays a specific style of song delivery that identifies it. The Gray Catbird utters phrases once, the Brown Thrasher utters phrases in pairs (sometimes trios), while the Northern Mockingbird utters each phrase three or four times.
