Catbirds are everywhere in the forest now.

They try to hide but sometimes they emerge from behind the leaves.

MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: COMMON RAVEN vs. GRAY CATBIRD

IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have the formidable force of the skies, the prince of darkness, the common raven!

this feathered fiend might look like a crow, but don't be fooled - it's significantly larger with a voice that packs a punch the crow just can't keep up with. with feathers as black as night, this bird of mystery is an expert in problem-solving and strategic planning. and let's get a closer listen to that haunting call, deeper and more resonant than any other corvid. are you ready to witness the power and intelligence of the common raven in the ring?

IN THE RED CORNER, we have the feathered feline of the ring, the gray catbird!

this bird might be visually unassuming, with its solid gray plumage, but its real strength is its voice. the gray catbird's most distinct call is the harsh meowing that gives it its name, but don't think that's all this opponent has in store for you. this chameleon of the vocal world an accomplished mimic. not only will it copy the songs of other birds and tree frogs, but the gray catbird has even been known to mimic manmade mechanical sounds. this is not a bird to be trifled with, folks. this is the gray catbird, and it's ready to rumble!
