Conservation Status

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Gray catbirds may benefit from human activity. They commonly make their homes in the kinds of scrubby, dense habitats that are created by deforestation and regrowth. However, their habitat has also been destroyed by clearing fields for agriculture. Gray catbirds are considered to be a common bird species, but they seem to have become less common recently. There are about 10,000,000 gray catbirds in the world. They are protected under the U.S. Migratory Bird Act.

US Migratory Bird Act: protected

US Federal List: no special status

CITES: no special status

State of Michigan List: no special status

IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern

Associations

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Snakes, rats, foxes, domestic cats, squirrels and chipmunks, raccoons, blue jays, American crows and common grackles prey on catbird eggs and chicks. Adult catbirds are sometimes hunted by raptors such as red-tailed hawks, Cooper's hawks, and peregrine falcons.

Gray catbirds respond aggressively towards predators. They flash their wings and tails at predators and make "quirt" and "mew" calls. They may even attack and peck at predators that come near the nest.

Known Predators:

  • snakes (Serpentes)
  • brown rats (Rattus norvegicus)
  • red foxes (Vulpes vulpes)
  • domestic cats (Felis silvestris)
  • squirrels and chipmunks (Sciuridae)
  • raccoons (Procyon lotor)
  • blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata)
  • American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos)
  • common grackles (Quiscalus quiscula)
  • red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis)

Associations

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Gray catbirds are important predators of insects, and may be especially important at controlling infestations of gypsy moth larvae. They also provide food for their predators. They are hosts for a number of body parasites, including lice, hippoboscid flies and ticks.

Gray catbird nests are often parasitized by brown-headed cowbirds. However, they are one of the few bird species that is able to learn to recognize cowbird eggs, and to eject them from the nest. Even when brown-headed cowbird eggs are not ejected, brown-headed cowbird chicks rarely survive to fledge from gray catbird nests.

Behavior

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Gray catbirds communicate visually, by how they hold their head or how their feathers are positioned. They also communicate by way of calls and songs. Gray catbirds are known for their "mew"-like song, which is reminiscent of the "mew" made by a cat. However, these skilled vocalists can make more than 100 different types of sounds, including whistles, harsh chatters and squeaks. They can even mimic other birds, tree frogs and other mechanical sounds that they hear. Part of this ability comes form the unusual structure of their syrinx, which allows both sides of the syrinx to operate independently. This means that gray catbirds can sing with two voices at once. Gray catbirds are also known to sing in duet.

Communication Channels: visual ; acoustic

Other Communication Modes: mimicry ; duets

Reproduction

provided by Animal Diversity Web

Gray catbirds are monogamous. Breeding pairs form soon after the catbirds arrive on the breeding grounds in the spring.

Mating System: monogamous

Gray catbirds breed between April and early August. They usually raise two broods per season. The female builds a bulky, open nest that is low to the ground (within 2 m). The nests are made from twigs, scraps, and paper bits. The female then lays 1 to 5 (usually 3 or 4) turquoise-colored eggs (about 17 mm by 24 mm). The female incubates the eggs for 12 to 14 days. The young are altricial when they hatch, and the parents shade them in the nest by perching on the rim with their wings spread and breast feathers fluffed. The male and female both feed young, whose diet usually consists only of small invertebrates. The young depart from the nest 10 to 11 days after hatching, and the parents will continue to feed them for up to 12 days. The young birds can breed for the first time the next summer.

Breeding interval: Gray catbirds breed during the spring and summer. They usually raise two broods per season.

Breeding season: Gray catbirds breed between April and early August.

Range eggs per season: 1 to 5.

Average eggs per season: 3.5.

Range time to hatching: 12 to 14 days.

Range fledging age: 10 to 11 days.

Range time to independence: 12 (high) days.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 1 years.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 1 years.

Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; oviparous

Average eggs per season: 4.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male)
Sex: male:
365 days.

Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Sex: female:
365 days.

Gray catbirds are born altricial, which means they cannot take care of themselves. Both males and females feed the young, who only eat small invertebrates. Parents shade the young from the sun by perching on the rim of the nest with their wings spread and breast feathers fluffed. The young fledge 10 to 11 days after hatching. The parents continue to feed them for up to 12 days longer.

Parental Investment: altricial ; pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Male, Female, Protecting: Male, Female); pre-independence (Provisioning: Male, Female)

Brief Summary

provided by EOL authors
The Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) breeds from southern British Columbia (Canada) south to northern New Mexico (U.S.A.) and eastward across most of the United States and adjacent Canada, as well as on Bermuda (where it is present year-round). Gray Catbirds winter from the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coastal Plain of the United States south to Panama, as well as in parts of the Caribbean. Gray Catbirds often skulk in dense thickets, but their rambling songs, with a mix of melodious and harsh and squeaky notes, make their presence obvious in spring and summer. Among the Gray Catbird's several calls is a drawn out mew that is the source of its common name. The diet consists mainly of insects and other small arthropods (especially in early summer) and berries. Nestlings are fed almost entirely on insects, but more than half the annual adult diet may be plant material, especially in fall and winter. Early in the breeding season the male sings almost constantly in the morning and evening and sometimes at night. Courtship may involve the male chasing the female, posturing and bowing with wings drooped and tail raised; the male may face away from the female to show off the patch of chestnut under his tail (present in both sexes). The nest is typically constructed by the female in dense thickets or small trees, typically 1 to 3 m above the ground. It is a large, bulky cup of twigs, weeds, grass, and leaves and lined with rootlets and other fine materials. The 3 to 4 (sometimes 2 or 5, rarely 1 or 6) eggs are greenish blue, rarely with some red spots. They are incubated (by the female only) for 12 to 14 days. Both parents feed the nestlings. Nestlings leave the nest around 10 to 11 days after hatching. Two broods per year is typical. When Brown-headed Cowbirds lay eggs in a Gray Catbird nest, the cowbird eggs are usually recognized, punctured, and ejected by the adult catbirds. Migration apparently occurs mainly at night. Birds breeding in the Northwest seem to migrate east before turning south in fall since they are rarely seen in the Southwest. (Kaufman 1996; AOU 1998; Dunn and Alderfer 2011)

Associated Plant Communities

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the terms: cover, cover type, forest, presence, shrub, swale

The gray catbird occurs in a wide variety of plant communities.
Physiognomy rather than cover type appears to be the dominant factor in
habitat preference; forest edge is preferred to hedgerows in the open
[18].  Riparian areas are heavily favored [6].  In the Southeast, the
heaviest breeding densities occur in sapling-poletimber stages of elm
(Ulmus spp.)-ash (Fraxinus spp.)-cottonwood (Populus spp.) types, and
the highest winter densities occur in shrub-seedling stages of maritime
live oak (Quercus virginiana) [11].  Breininger [4] reported the
presence of wintering gray catbirds in Florida swale marshes.  In New
England, the gray catbird is rare at high elevations [6].  In western
North Dakota, gray catbirds forage and nest in cottonwood types [12].
In Saskatchewan, gray catbirds were observed in aspen (Populus spp.)
with shrub understory [13].  In Oregon, primary gray catbird foraging
use occurs in tall sagebrush (Artemisia spp.)/bunchgrass, squaw apple
(Peraphyllum ramosissimum)/bunchgrass, curlleaf mountain-mahogany
(Cercocarpus ledifolius var. ledifolius)/bunchgrass, curlleaf
mountain-mahogany/pinegrass (Calamagrostis rubescens) and other brush
communities.  Primary reproductive use occurs in quaking aspen (Populus
tremuloides)/grass, quaking aspen/mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia
tridentata ssp. vaseyana)/bunchgrass, and riparian areas [16].

Plant species commonly used by gray catbirds include multiflora rose
(Rosa multiflora), barberries (Berberis spp.), lilacs (Syringa spp.),
mockorange (Philadelphus spp.), osage-orange (Maclura pomifera), and
various conifers [7,25].

Cover Requirements

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the terms: shrubs, vines

The gray catbird uses dense, shrubby vegetation for all activities.
Nests are usually constructed about 5 feet (1.5 m) [6] above the ground,
with a range of 3 to 10 feet (1-3 m) above the ground in dense, leafy
shrubs or vines [7].  In Iowa riparian habitat, 72 out of 97 nests were
constructed in shrubs, 11 were found in deciduous saplings, and 14 in
deciduous trees [21].

Distribution

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
The gray catbird breeds from southern British Columbia, southern
Ontario, and Nova Scotia south to central New Mexico and northern
Florida; west to northern and south-central Washington, south-central
and eastern Oregon, north-central Utah, and central and northeastern
Arizona.  Its winter range extends from north-central and eastern Texas,
the central portions of the Gulf States, and Atlantic coastal lowlands
from Long Island south to the Gulf-Caribbean slope of Central America [7].

Food Habits

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the term: shrubs

The gray catbird is primarily a leaf-gleaner [36].  About half of
the diet is insects; the fleshy fruits of woody shrubs constitute most
of the remainder of the diet [7,15].

Animal foods include ants, beetles, crickets and grasshoppers, bugs,
cankerworms and other smooth caterpillars, caterpillars of gypsy moth
and brown-tailed moth, aphids, miscellaneous other insects, and spiders
[15,25].

Plant foods (fruit) include blackberries (Rubus spp.), cherries (Prunus
spp.) including chokecherry (P. virginiana), hollies (Ilex spp.),
bayberries (Myrica spp.), greenbriers (Smilax spp.), poison-ivy
(Toxicodendron spp.), buckthorns (Rhamnus spp.), tatarian honeysuckle
(Lonicera tatarica), Missouri gooseberry (Ribes missouriense), American
elder (Sambucus canadensis), blueberries (Vaccinium spp.), baneberry
(Actaea rubra), dogwoods (Cornus spp.), and buffaloberries (Shepherdia
spp.) [14,15,17,29,36,37].

Habitat-related Fire Effects

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the terms: cover, density, fire exclusion, litter, moderate-severity fire, shrub, shrubs, vines

In Florida, gray catbirds preferred unburned areas to recently burned
coastal scrub and slash pine (Pinus elliottii) flatwoods.  Gray catbird
density increased with postfire age, from 0.1 per acre (0.25/ha) on
1-year plots to 0.6 per acre (1.5/ha) on 10-year (or older) plots [5].
Also in Florida, a 20-year-old slash pine stand was prescribed burned
with a moderate-severity fire in December, 1967.  Ground cover and dead
grass litter were almost entirely consumed, most shrubs were defoliated
and burned back, and small pines were scorched; the foliage of medium
and large-sized trees was scarcely touched.  In the first 5 postfire
months, there were slightly more gray catbirds in the unburned area than
in the burned area.  Most of the gray catbirds observed in both burned
and unburned areas were within 100 feet (30 m) of the burned/unburned
boundary [8].

In general, fires that result in an increase in shrubby vegetation and
vines will increase available habitat for gray catbirds.  Frequent fire
that reduces the shrub layer will decrease available habitat for gray
catbirds.  Where fire exclusion leads to a decrease in patchiness, edge,
or shrubby vegetation, gray catbird habitat may decline.

Management Considerations

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the terms: density, shrub

Gray catbirds were rated as tolerant of habitat alteration; they do not
require a specific habitat and are able to make use of
less-highly-preferred habitat, albeit at lower densities [21].

In Pennsylvania, gray catbirds were present in clearcut stands of aspens
and oak-pine.  They were observed to use the edges of stands more often
than interiors (defined as more than 83 feet [25 m] from the interface),
and preferred older stands [30].  Nongame bird densities were censused
in bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata)-quaking aspen-pitch pine
(Pinus rigida), and in bear oak (Quercus ilicifolia)-dwarf chinkapin oak
(Q. prinoides)/blueberry stands that were uncut, 50 percent clearcut,
or 75 percent clearcut.  Length of time since treatment was 2, 6, or 12
years.  Gray catbirds were encountered more often than expected in 75
percent clearcut aspen stands and were not encountered in uncut stands
of either aspens or oaks.  Within the 50 percent clearcut stands, gray
catbirds were more common in 12-year-old stands of both aspens and
oak-pine than in 2-year-old stands [32].

Stauffer and Best [21] made the following predictions about the effect of
habitat alteration on gray catbird density:

1) conversion of woody vegetation to hayfield or pasture will eliminate
     gray catbird
2) reduction of woody vegetation to narrow strips along streams will
     reduce gray catbird density
3) partial removal of the canopy will increase gray catbird density
4) thinning of shrub and sapling layers will reduce gray catbird density.

The authors were unable to make a prediction for the effect of partial canopy
removal with shrub thinning, since the separate treatments have opposite
effects [21].

Tall structures create a hazard to migrating gray catbirds because most
migration occurs at night [25].  Structures listed as hazards include
lighthouses and the Washington Monument [2].

Nest Parasitism:  Gray catbirds are infrequent hosts to brown-headed
cowbirds.  Gray catbirds will eject eggs of other species that are found
in the nest [25].  However, if a naive gray catbird is exposed to a
brown-headed cowbird egg before her own eggs are laid, she will "learn"
the cowbird egg, eject her own eggs, and rear the cowbird chick [38].

Predators

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
Snakes are major predators on gray catbird nestlings, as are rats,
foxes, and domestic cats.  Other nest molesters include common grackle
(Quiscalus quiscula), brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum), and northern
cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis).  Adult catbirds are taken by northern
harrier (Circus cyaneus), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), and
long-eared owl (Asio otus) [2].  Toland [26] listed a gray catbird as a
nesting season prey item for a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis).

Preferred Habitat

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the terms: density, forest, marsh, shrub, shrubs, swamp, tree, vines, woodland

The gray catbird uses dense thickets of shrubby edge habitat for both
nesting and foraging.  Any area of dense shrubs, briars, or vines along
woodland borders appears to be suitable [7].  The habitat niche breadth
is fairly large, meaning that gray catbirds use a wide variety of
foliage densities and shrub layers.  The gray catbird is also found in
dry marsh edges, roadside shrubs, abandoned fields, and fencerows [7].

Sample gray catbird densities are as follows:  In New York, one nest per
8 acres (3.2 ha) (80 pairs per square mile [31/sq km]) was reported for
mixed shrub-small tree stages in beech (Fagus spp.)-maple (Acer
spp.)-hemlock (Tsuga spp.) forest [6].  In North Dakota, 40 pairs per
square mile (15 per sq km) were observed in favorable habitat [22], and
in Maryland, 80 males were counted for 100 acres (40 ha) in shrub swamp
habitat [23].  In Iowa, there was a positive relationship between gray
catbird density and sapling richness, tree size, and tree patchiness,
and a negative relationship with tree density [21].

Timing of Major Life History Events

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the term: constancy

Breeding Season:  The gray catbird breeds from late April to mid-August,
with the peak season occurring from mid-May to mid-June [11].  The nest
is a ragged mass of sticks, weed stems, grasses, leaves, and twigs.  The
cup may be lined with pine needles, rootlets, fine shreds of bark, and
horsehair [25].  In New York, eggs were laid from May 5 to June 13 [6].
In Ontario, egg dates ranged from May 2 to August 18 [19].  The gray
catbird raises two or more consecutive broods in one season [6].

Clutch Size:  The average clutch size is four, but ranges from three to
five eggs [11].

Development:  Eggs are incubated for 12 to 15 days [2,6].  The female is
usually the sole incubating parent and is fed by the male [2].  The
young usually remain in the nest for 11 days; the nestling stage ranges
from 9 to 15 days.  The gray catbird is sexually mature at 1 year [6].

Migration:  The southward migration of gray catbird begins early in the
fall, soon after the young leave the nest [15].  During one fall study
period as many as 725 gray catbirds were reported at Dauphin Island,
Alabama in a single day [39].  In the spring, males arrive on nesting
grounds prior to the females [25].  Gray catbirds were the second most
frequently captured species in the spring in a study area on the Fort
Morgan Peninsula, Alabama [39].  Banded birds usually return to the
place of banding.  There is variation in the constancy of mating; some
catbird pairs raise consecutive broods in the same season and remain
paired in subsequent seasons.  Other pairs raise one brood and then find
new mates, although the male appears to remain constant to a territory
[2].

Maximum longevity is 10 years [25].  Average longevity is around 2.5
years [2].

Use of Fire in Population Management

provided by Fire Effects Information System Animals
More info for the terms: fire regime, prescribed fire

In central Pennsylvania management of even-aged aspen stands for ruffed
grouse (Bonasa umbellus) is also suitable for gray catbirds.  Management
for ruffed grouse includes the creation of brushy, edge conditions that
are favored by gray catbirds.  This management often includes the use of
prescribed fire [31].

Comprehensive Description

provided by Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology
Dumetella carolinensis (Linnaeus)

Before the experimental studies discussed earlier in this paper, the gray catbird and the American robin were the only species known to eject cowbird eggs frequently. But the actual incidence of ejection was not known. Experiments on 53 catbird nests resulted in 50 (94.3 percent) ejections. The cowbird eggs in the 3 remaining nests were accepted. The experiments were conducted in Connecticut, Manitoba, Nebraska, Michigan, and Maryland (Rothstein, 1975a).

Experiments on 17 additional nests show that after egg laying has ceased, catbirds correctly distinguish between their own and foreign eggs in a number of different contexts. Catbirds always ejected cowbird or other types of foreign eggs even when these egg types outnumbered the catbird's eggs or were the only types present (Rothstein, 1975c). These experiments were done to test Rensch's (1925) question of whether birds that reject parasitic eggs actually recognize either their own or the parasitic egg, or whether they simply reject the egg type that is in the minority. In nearly all cases the parasitic egg is in the minority, so rejection could function efficiently as a host defense even if birds did not recognize their own or a parasitic egg. Contrary to the generally held belief, the experiments showed that catbirds do indeed “know” the appearance of their own eggs. Other experiments (Rothstein, 1974) suggested that catbirds learn the appearance of their egg type from the first egg(s) they lay and that it is possible to “teach” a catbird that a cowbird egg is its own egg type if eggs are experimentally switched shortly after laying begins.

The Ontario nest records files at Toronto include 9 instances of cowbird parasitism on the gray catbird; these constitute 1.3 percent of 707 nests reported; the files at Cornell University record 4 instances (out of 367 nests in all), 3 from Michigan and 1 from Kentucky.

Katzendrossel ( German )

provided by wikipedia DE
Dumetella carolinensis-map.jpg

Die Katzenspottdrossel (Dumetella carolinensis), traditionell kurz Katzendrossel, manchmal auch Katzenvogel genannt, ist ein häufiger nordamerikanischer Singvogel aus der Familie der Spottdrosseln (Mimidae). Sie ist der einzige Vertreter der Gattung Dumetella. Die IUCN stuft die Art als zurzeit (2018) nicht gefährdet (least concern) ein.

Merkmale

Die 21 bis 24 cm lange Katzendrossel hat kurze gerundete Flügel und einen langen gerundeten Schwanz. Das Gefieder ist schiefergrau mit schwarzer Kappe und einem schwarzen Schwanz, der unterseits kastanienbraune Partien aufweist. Der kurze Schnabel ist schwarz, wie auch die Augen, Beine und Füße. Die östlichen Populationen sind dunkler gefärbt als die westlichen. Beide Geschlechter sehen sich ähnlich. Der Vogel ahmt die Rufe anderer Singvögel nach und hat auch ein „Miauen“ als Lautäußerung.

Vorkommen

Die Katzendrossel brütet in Kanada in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan und Manitoba; in den USA von Oregon bis nach New Mexico und im Osten bis an die Küste. Sie überwintert im Südosten der USA, in Mexiko entlang der Ostküste und auf karibischen Inseln. Der Vogel lebt in dichten Büschen, an Waldrändern, in Waldlichtungen, auf aufgegebenem Farmland und an Flüssen und meidet Gegenden mit zu vielen Nadelbäumen.

Verhalten

Die Katzendrossel ist tagaktiv, sie lebt versteckt im Gebüsch. Gewöhnlich fliegt sie bodennah und nur kurze Distanzen von Ast zu Ast, dabei meidet sie Flüge über offenes Gebiet. Der Vogel sucht am Boden seine aus Insekten, Samen und Beeren bestehende Nahrung.

Fortpflanzung

Die Brutsaison dauert von April bis in den frühen August. In dieser Zeit brütet der monogame Vogel gewöhnlich zweimal. Das Nest wird im Gebüsch oder im niedrigen Dickicht aus Zweigen, manchmal auch mit Papierfetzen, gebaut. Das Gelege besteht meist aus zwei bis fünf hellblauen Eiern. Das Weibchen bebrütet diese rund zwei Wochen lang allein. Beide Elternvögel hudern die Küken und füttern sie mit kleinen Wirbellosen. Mit 10 bis 11 Tagen werden die Jungvögel flügge, nach weiteren 12 Tagen selbständig und mit einem Jahr geschlechtsreif.

Häufig legt der Braunkopf-Kuhstärling seine Eier dazu, doch in der Regel erkennt die Katzendrossel ihre eigenen Eier und entfernt die fremden. Ersetzt der Braunkopf-Kuhstärling die herausgeworfenen Eier jedoch rasch, ist die Katzendrossel so verwirrt, dass sie die fremden Eier als ihre eigenen betrachtet und die eigenen Eier aus dem Nest wirft. Dies kommt allerdings nur selten vor.

Gray catbird

provided by wikipedia EN

The gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), also spelled grey catbird, is a medium-sized North American and Central American perching bird of the mimid family. It is the only member of the "catbird" genus Dumetella. Like the black catbird (Melanoptila glabrirostris), it is among the basal lineages of the Mimidae, probably a closer relative of the Caribbean thrasher and trembler assemblage than of the mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers.[2][3] In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird.[4]

Taxonomy

The name Dumetella is based upon the Latin term dūmus ("thorny thicket";[5] it thus means approximately "small thornbush-dweller" or "small bird of the thornbushes". It refers to the species' habit of singing when hidden in undergrowth. The specific name carolinensis is Neo-Latin for "from the Carolinas".[6]

The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1766 edition of Systema naturae. His original name Muscicapa carolinensis reflected the belief, widespread at that time, that the gray catbird was some sort of Old World flycatcher (presumably due to its remarkably plain coloration, not similar to other mimids).[7]

The genus name has a convoluted nomenclatorial history. The monotypic genus Galeoscoptes, proposed by Jean Cabanis in 1850, was widely used up to 1907. This name roughly means "capped mockingbird", from Latin galea "helmet" and Ancient Greek skóptein (σκώπτειν, "to scold" or "to mock"). But as it turned out, Dumetella was a technically acceptable senior synonym, even though the peculiar circumstances of its publishing left the identity of its author unsolved until 1989. As it turned out, the genus name was published by C.T. Wood in 1837. His description is somewhat eccentric, and was published under his pseudonym "S.D.W.". Wood misquotes his source—John Latham's 1783 General Synopsis of Birds—as calling the bird "cat thrush", probably because he knew the species under that name from George Shaw's General Zoology. Latham's name was "cat flycatcher", analogous to the scientific name of Linné.[5][7][8]

Shaw (and subsequently C.T. Wood) used L.J.P. Vieillot's specific name felivox. This means "cat voice", a contraction of Latin felis ("cat") and vox ("voice"). Vieillot, differing from the earlier authors, believed the bird to be a true thrush (Turdus).[5][9]

Though mimids were widely considered Turdidae until the 1850s, this was not any more correct than treating them as Old World flycatchers, as these three families are distinct lineages of the superfamily Muscicapoidea. In the mid-20th century, the Turdidae and even most of the Sylvioidea were lumped in the Muscicapidae—but the Mimidae were not.

Lastly, the smaller gray catbirds from Bermuda, which have proportionally narrow and shorter rectrices and primary remiges, were described as subspecies bermudianus ("from Bermuda") by Outram Bangs in 1901. But this taxon was never widely accepted, and today the gray catbird is generally considered monotypic as a species, too.

Description

Adults weigh from 23.2 to 56.5 g (0.8 to 2.0 oz), with an average of 35–40 g (1.2–1.4 oz)[9][10] They range in length from 20.5 to 24 cm (8.1 to 9.4 in) and span 22 to 30 cm (8.7 to 11.8 in) across the wings.[10] Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 8.4 to 9.8 cm (3.3 to 3.9 in), the tail is 7.2 to 10.3 cm (2.8 to 4.1 in), the culmen is 1.5 to 1.8 cm (0.6 to 0.7 in) and the tarsus is 2.7 to 2.9 cm (1.1 to 1.1 in).[11] Gray catbirds are plain lead gray almost all over. The top of the head is darker. The undertail coverts are rust-colored, and the remiges and rectrices are black, some with white borders. The slim bill, the eyes, and the legs and feet are also blackish. Males and females cannot be distinguished by their looks; different behaviours in the breeding season is usually the only clue to the observer. Juveniles are even plainer in coloration, with buffy undertail coverts.

Vocalizations

This species is named for its cat-like call. Like many members of the Mimidae (in particular mockingbirds), it also mimics the songs of other birds, as well as those of Hylidae (tree frogs), and even mechanical sounds. Because of its well-developed songbird syrinx, it is able to make two sounds at the same time. The alarm call resembles the quiet calls of a male mallard.

A gray catbird's song is easily distinguished from that of the northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) or brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum) because the mockingbird repeats its phrases or "strophes" three to four times, the thrasher usually twice, but the catbird sings most phrases only once. The catbird's song is usually described as more raspy and less musical than that of a mockingbird.

In contrast to the many songbirds that choose a prominent perch from which to sing, the catbird often elects to sing from inside a bush or small tree, where it is obscured from view by the foliage.

Distribution and habitat

Native to most of temperate North America east of the Rocky Mountains, gray catbirds migrate to the southeastern United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean in winter; except for the occasional vagrant they always stay east of the American Cordillera. They are extremely rare vagrants to western Europe. Normally present on the breeding grounds by May, most leave for winter quarters in September/October; as it seems, this species is increasingly extending its stay in the summer range, with some nowadays remaining until mid-winter as far north as Ohio.[7][12][13] The gray catbird is a migratory species. Spring migration ranges from March to May, and in the fall ranges from late August to November.[14]

The catbird tends to avoid dense, unbroken woodlands, and does not inhabit coniferous, pine woodland. Catbirds prefer a dense vegetative substrate, especially if thorny vegetation is present.[14][15] Scrublands, woodland edges, overgrown farmland and abandoned orchards are generally among the preferred locations of the catbird. In Bermuda, its preferred habitats are scrub and myrtle swamp.[15] During the winter season, the catbird has an affinity for berry-rich thickets, especially within proximity of water sources.[14]

Behavior

Breeding

Their breeding habitat is semi-open areas with dense, low growth; they are also found in urban, suburban, and rural habitats. In the winter months they seem to associate with humans even more.[16] These birds mainly forage on the ground in leaf litter, but also in shrubs and trees. They mainly eat arthropods and berries. In the winter months, Cymbopetalum mayanum (Annonaceae) and Trophis racemosa (Moraceae) bear fruit well liked by this species, and such trees can be planted to attract the gray catbird into parks and gardens.[16]

They build a bulky cup nest in a shrub or tree, close to the ground. Eggs are light blue in color, and clutch size ranges from 1–5, with 2–3 eggs most common. Both parents take turns feeding the young birds.

Feeding

Gray catbirds are omnivores, and approximately 50% of their diet is fruit and berries. They tend to peck more fruit than they can eat. They also eat mealworms, earthworms, beetles, and other bugs. In summer, gray catbirds will eat mostly ants, beetles, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and moths. They also eat holly berries, cherries, elderberries, poison ivy, bay, and blackberries. They also often peck the eggs of other species of birds, but it is unknown if they do this to supplement their diet or to reduce competition for food from other birds.[17]

Predation and threats

The gray catbird can be attracted by "pishing" sounds.[9] Gray catbirds are not afraid of predators and respond to them aggressively by flashing their wings and tails and by making their signature mew sounds. They are also known to even attack and peck predators that come too near their nests. They also will destroy eggs of the brood parasitic brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater) laid in their nests by pecking them.

This species is widespread and generally plentiful, though its reclusive habits often make it seem less common than it is. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN due to its large range and numbers.[1][9]

On Bermuda however, gray catbirds were once very common, but their numbers have been greatly reduced in recent years by deforestation and nest predation by introduced species (including the great kiskadee Pitangus sulphuratus and the European starling Sturnus vulgaris). In the United States, this species receives special legal protections under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.

Gray catbird: Brief Summary

provided by wikipedia EN

The gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), also spelled grey catbird, is a medium-sized North American and Central American perching bird of the mimid family. It is the only member of the "catbird" genus Dumetella. Like the black catbird (Melanoptila glabrirostris), it is among the basal lineages of the Mimidae, probably a closer relative of the Caribbean thrasher and trembler assemblage than of the mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers. In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird.

Katbirdo ( Esperanto )

provided by wikipedia EO

La KatbirdoGriza katbirdo (Dumetella carolinensis[1]) estas mezgranda paserina birdo de la familio de Mimedoj kiu troviĝas ĉefe en Nordameriko. Ĝi estas la ununura membro de la genro Dumetella. Kiel la Nigra katbirdo, ĝi estas inter la bazaj stirpoj de la Mimedoj.[2]

Plenkreskuloj estas malhelgriza (ardezgriza) kun svelta, nigra beko kaj malhelaj okuloj. Ili havas longan malhelan voston, malhelajn gambojn kaj malhelan kronon preskaŭ nigran; ili estas tre kontraste rustokoloraj (brunruĝecaj) sub vostokomenco, tio estas subpuge.

Voĉoj

 src=
Griza katbirdo en Vaŝingtono

Tiu specio estas tiele nomita pro ties kateca alvoko, sed, kiel ĉe multaj membroj de la familio de Mimedoj, ili ankaŭ imitas la kantojn de aliaj birdoj, same kiel de arboranoj kaj eĉ meĥanikajn sonojn. Ĉar ili havas sirinkson kiel plej parto de birdoj, ili kapablas produkti du sonojn samtempe. La alarmvoĉo similas la trankvilajn alvokojn de masklo de Platbeka anaso.

La kanto de Katbirdo facile distingeblas el tiu de la Norda mokbirdo aŭ de la Toksostomo ĉar la mokbirdo ripetas frazojn 3 al 4 fojojn, dum la Toksostomo kutime ripetas ĉiun frazon dufoje, sed la katbirdo kantas ĉiun frazon nur unufoje. La kanto de la katbirdo estas kutime priskribita kiel pli raspa kaj malpli muzika ol tiu de mokbirdo.

Kontraste kun multaj kantobirdoj kiuj elektas elstarajn ripozejojn el kiu kanti, la katbirdo ofte elektas kanti el interno de arbusto aŭ arbeto, kie ili estas kaŝita per la foliaro.

Ekologio

 src=
Ĝenerala distribuado, inkludante vintrejojn
 src=
Griza katbirdo ĉeneste, defendante siajn ovojn el la fotisto

Ties reprodukta biotopo estas duonmalfermaj areoj kun densa, malalta arbustaro tra plej parto de Nordameriko, tio estas la plej suda bordo de Kanado, preskaŭ la tuta Usono, escepte sudokcidente kaj Meksiko. Ili troviĝas en urbaj, ĉeurbaj kaj ruraj habitatoj; vintre ili asociiĝas plie al homoj[3]. Ili konstruas diketan neston tasforman en arbusto aŭ arbo proksime de la grundo. La ovoj estas helbluaj, kaj la ovodemetado konsistas el 1 al 5, kun plia ofteco de 2 aŭ 3. Ambaŭ gepatroj vicas por manĝigi la idaron.

Tiu nearktisa specio migras al sudorienta Usono kaj orientaj Meksiko kaj Centrameriko (ĉe Karibio) kaj Kubo vintre. La pli malgrandaj birdoj de Bermudo, kiu havas mallarĝajn kaj mallongajn flugilplumojn, estis priskribitaj kiel bermudianus, sed tiu taksono neniam estis amplekse akceptita. Ili estas ege vagantoj en okcidenta Eŭropo, ekzemple en Germanio.

Tiuj birdoj manĝas surgrunde inter folirubaĵo. Ili manĝas ĉefe insektojn kaj berojn kaj foje lacertojn, ovojn kaj ranojn; vintre la fruktetoj de Cymbopetalum mayanum (Annonaceae) kaj de Trophis racemosa (Morusacoj) estas ŝatataj de tiu specio, kaj tiele tiuj arboj estas ofte plantataj por allogi katbirdojn en parkojn kaj ĝardenojn.[3] Griza katbirdo ne timas predantojn kaj respondas ilin agreseme per ekmontro de siaj flugiloj kaj vostoj kaj per siaj miaŭaj sonoj. Oni scias, ke ili ankaŭ atakas kaj bekofrapas predantojn kiuj venas ĉe siaj nestoj. Ili ankaŭ detruas ovojn de la Brunkapa molotro demetitajn en siajn nestojn per bekofrapado.

Tiu specio estas ĝenerale komuna kaj disvastigata, kvankam timida. Ĝi ne estas konsiderata minacata de IUCN. En Bermudo tamen, Grizaj katbirdoj estis iam tre komunaj, sed ties populacio draste malpliiĝis lastatempe pro senarbarigo kaj nestopredado fare de enmetitaj specioj (inklude tiujn de la Pitango kaj de la Sturno).

En Usono tiu specio ricevas specialan leĝan protektadon laŭ la Traktato pri Migrantaj Birdoj de 1918.

Naukumatkija ( Finnish )

provided by wikipedia FI

Naukumatkija (Dumetella carolinensis) on amerikkalainen varpuslintu ja sukunsa ainoa laji.

Koko ja ulkonäkö

Linnun pituus on noin 18,5 cm, siipien kärkiväli 24–26 cm ja paino noin 30–40 g. Sen höyhenpuku on ruskea tai harmahtava, päälaki mustahko ja alaperä ruosteenpunainen. Pyrstö on pitkä ja tumma. Koiras on kirkkaamman värinen kuin naaras. Nuori lintu on naarasta himmeämpi. Lajin äänet ovat kissamaista naukunaa ja karkeita äännähdyksiä.

Esiintyminen

Naukumatkija elää Amerikassa, pohjoisessa Etelä-Kanadasta ja Oregonista Teksasiin ja Meksikonlahden rantavaltioihin. Lajin kannasta pääosa on muuttolintuja, jotka talvehtivat Yhdysvaltain eteläosissa ja Keski-Amerikassa. Naurumatkijaa tavataan toisinaan myös Länsi-Euroopassa. Maailman populaation koko on noin kymmenen miljoonaa yksilöä.

Elinympäristö

Naukumatkija asustaa metsänreunoissa, puutarhoissa sekä monenlaisissa tiheiköissä, joissa on joko pysty- tai vaakasuoria reunoja.

Lisääntyminen

Naukumatkija rakentaa kuppimaisen pesänsä pensaaseen tai puuhun, ja munii tavallisesti kolme tai neljä munaa. Naaras hautoo 12–14 päivää. Molemmat emot huolehtivat poikasista, jotka lähtevät pesästä 10–11 päivän ikäisinä. Emot puolustavat pesäänsä aggressiivisesti. Sukukypsä yksivuotiaana. Vanhin naukumatkija on elänyt 10 vuotta 11 kuukautta.[2]

Ravinto

Naukumatkijat syövät hyönteisiä ja muita pieniä selkärangattomia sekä marjoja.

Katvogel ( Dutch; Flemish )

provided by wikipedia NL

Vogels

De (gewone) katvogel (Dumetella carolinensis) is een vogel die in een deel van de Verenigde Staten voorkomt. De katvogel behoort tot de familie van de spotlijsters. Deze vogel moet niet verward worden met de zogenaamde Australaziatisch katvogels, waaronder de grijskopkatvogel. Deze behoren tot de familie van de prieelvogels.

Kenmerken

De katvogel maakt een mekkerend geluid dat wel wat op dat van een kat lijkt. De vogel is 22-23 cm lang en weegt 35 tot 40 gram. Ze zijn overwegend grijs, waarbij de bovenkop wat donkerder is. De onderstaartdekveren zijn roestkleurig. De snavel is smal en spits, de ogen, poten en snavel zijn donker, bijna zwart. Er is geen verschil tussen de seksen.

Verspreiding en leefgebied

De katvogel komt voor in de gematigde klimaatzone van Noord-Amerika ten oosten van de Rocky Mountains. Het zijn trekvogels die in de winter naar het zuidoosten van de Verenigde Staten, Mexico en Midden-Amerika trekken.

De vogel broedt in half open landschappen met dichte ondergroei in cultuurgebieden, buitenwijken en stadsparken. In de overwinteringsgebieden hebben ze nog meer de neiging om de menselijke bewoning op te zoeken.

Sparadisch zijn er waarnemingen van de katvogel in Europa en op de Canarische Eilanden.[2]

Grå kattfågel ( Swedish )

provided by wikipedia SV

Grå kattfågel[2] (Dumetella carolinensis) är en nordamerikansk fågel i familjen härmtrastar inom ordningen tättingar.[3]

Utseende

Grå kattfågel är en liten trastliknande fågel, 19–21 centimeter i längd. Den är enfärgat askgrå med svart hätta och rödbrun undergump.[4]

Läten

Grå kattfågel har fått sitt namn från sitt lockläte, ett hest och kattlikt jamande. Andra läten låter skallrande. Sången består av en haltande ramsa med inslag av jamande och vassa tjipp-läten.[5]

Utbredning och systematik

Fågeln förekommer i Nordamerika från södra British Columbia till Gulfstaterna. Den övervintrar i Karibien och så långt söderut som till Panama.[3] Arten är en mycket sällsynt gäst i Europa med fynd i Storbritannien, Kanalöarna, Belgien, Tyskland, Spanien, Irland och Azorerna.[6]

Släktskap

Grå kattfågel placeras som enda art i släktet Dumetella. Den ingår i en grupp med övervägande västindiska härmtrastar.[7] Allra närmast tros den stå den starkt hotade arten vitbröstad härmtrast (Ramphocinclus brachyurus).[7] Notera att ett antal arter i familjen lövsalsfåglar också kallas kattfåglar, men dessa är inte alls besläktade med grå kattfågel.

Levnadssätt

Fågeln hittas i undervegetation i skog, ofta i fuktiga och skuggiga områden. Den ses oftast ensam där den tillbakadraget födosöker på marken eller lågt i buskar efter insekter, andra ryggradslösa djur och bär.[5]

Häckning

Boet placeras på varierande höjd mitt i en buske, i en klängväxt eller ett träd. Honan lägger två till tre kullar med ett till sex ägg som ruvas i tolv till 15 dagar. Ungarna är flygga tio till elva dagar efter kläckning.[8]

Status och hot

Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde och en stor population med stabil utveckling.[1] Utifrån dessa kriterier kategoriserar internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN arten som livskraftig (LC).[1] Världspopulationen uppskattas till 27 miljoner häckande individer.[9]

Пересмішник сірий ( Ukrainian )

provided by wikipedia UK

Номенклатура і таксономія

Назва Dumetella ґрунтується на латинському терміні dūmus ("тернисті зарості"); [2] таким чином, це означає "мала тернова пташка". Назви відображає звичку птахів виду співати, сховавшись у підліску. Видовий епітет carolinensisноволатинське "каролінський", що означає екологічну приуроченість то т.зв. каролінських лісів. [3] Англійська назва catbird від вокалізацій, які нагадують котяче нявчання.

Вид був уперше описаний Карлом Ліннеєм у його виданні Systema naturae від 1766 року. Його первісна назва Muscicapa carolinensis відображала поширене в той час уявлення про сірого пересмішника як про мухоловку Старого Світу. [4]

Назва роду має заплутану номенклатурну історію. Монотипний рід Galeoscoptes, запропонований Жаном Кабанісом у 1850 році, широко застосовувався до 1907 року. Це ім'я приблизно означає "покритоголовий пересмішник", від латинського galea "шолом" і давньогрецького skóptein (σκώπτειν, "клясти" або "перекривляти"). Але, як виявилося, Dumetella був технічно прийнятним старшим синонімом, незважаючи на те, що особливі обставини його публікації залишили ідентичність автора невирішеною аж до 1989 року. Як виявилося, назва роду було опубліковано Чарльзом Торольдом Вудом в 1837 році. Його опис дещо ексцентричний, і був опублікований під його псевдонімом "S.D.W". Вуд помилково називає його джерело - Загальний синопсис птахів Джона Летема 1783 року - називаючи птаха «котячим дроздом», ймовірно, тому, що він знав вид під цією назвою з Загальної зоології Джорджа Шоу. Назва, дана видові Летемом була "cat flycatcher" ("котяча мухоловка"), аналогічна науковій назві Ліннея. [5][6].

Дж. Шоу (а слідом і К.Т. Вуд) використовують видовий епітет, даний Л.Ж.П. В'єйо felivox, що означає "котячоголосий", скорочення латинського felis ("кіт") і vox ("голос"). В'єйо, на відміну від попередніх авторів, вважав, що птах є справжнім дроздом (Turdus). [7]

Хоча пересмішників переважно відносили до дроздових до 1850-х років, це було не більш правильним, ніж розглядати їх як мухоловок Старого Світу, оскільки ці три родини є різними лініями надродини Muscicapoidea. В середині 20-го століття, дроздові і навіть велика частина Sylvioidea були об'єднані в Muscicapidae - але Mimidae не були.

Нарешті, дрібніші пересмішники сірі з Бермудських островів, які мають пропорційно вузькі і коротші хвостові і первинні махові пера, були описані як підвид bermudianus ("бермудський") за Аутрамом Бенґсом в 1901 році. Але цей таксон ніколи не був широко прийнятий, і сьогодні пересмішник сірий, як правило, вважається монотипним як вид.

Опис

Дорослі важать від 23.2 до 56.5 г, у середньому 35-40 г[8] [9]. В довжину розміри коливаються від 20.5 до 24 см і між від 22 до 30 см через крила.[9] Серед стандартних вимірювань хорда крила становить 8.4 до 9.8 см, хвіст 7.2 до 10.3 см, дзьоб від 1.5 до 1.8 см і передплесно - 2.7 до 2.9 см.[10]. Пересмішники сірі є звичайно свинцево-сірого кольору майже повсюди. Верхня частина голови має темнішу "шапочку". Покривне піря підхвістя — іржавого кольору, і махові та рульові - чорні, деякі з білою облямівкою. Тонкий дзьоб, очі, ноги і ступні також чорні. Самців і самиць не можна розрізняти за зовнішнім виглядом; тож різна поведінка в період розмноження, як правило, — єдиний ключ для спостерігача. У ювенільних ще менш контрастне забарвленням, з піщано-рудими покривними перами підхвістя.

Живлення

Приблизно 50% їжі пересмішника сірого — це фрукти та ягоди. Вони також їдять деревних і дощових червів, жуків та інших комах. Влітку сірі пересмішники їдять в основному мурах, жуків, коників, гусениць і лускокрилих. Вони також з'їдають ягоди падуба, вишні, бузини, отруйного плюща, лаврів і ожини.

Вокалізація

Англійська назва виду дана на честь його котячого поклику. Як і більшість членів родини Mimidae, він також імітує пісні інших птахів, а також пісні райкових (деревних жаб) і навіть механічні звуки. Через добре розвинений сиринкс співочих птахів він здатний одночасно видавати два різні звуки. Сигнал тривоги нагадує дещо притишений поклик самця крижня.

Пісню пересмішника сірого легко відрізнити від пісні пересмішника багатоголосого (Mimus polyglottos) або тремблера прямодзьобого (Toxostoma rufum), оскільки перший пересмішник повторює свої фрази або "строфи" три-чотири рази, тремблер зазвичай двічі, але пересмішник сірий співає більшість фраз тільки один раз. Пісню сірого пересмішника зазвичай описують як різкішу і менш мелодійну, ніж у пересмішника багатоголосого.

На відміну від багатьох співочих птахів, які обирають для співу підвищене сідало, сірий пересмішник часто співає, сидячи в гущавині куща або малого дерева, закритий від огляду листям.

Екологія та поведінка

Географічний ареал і життєве середовище

Характерні для більшої частини помірної Північної Америки на схід від Скелястих гір, пересмішники сірі мігрують до південно-східних США, Мексики, Центральної Америки і Карибського басейну взимку; окрім випадкових залітних особин, вони завжди залишаються на схід від американських Кордильєр. Зальоти птахів до Західної Європи є надзвичайно рідкісними. Нормально присутні в місцях розмноження до травня, більшість відмігровують на зимові поселення у вересні-жовтні; так виглядає, що цей вид все більше розширює своє перебування в літньому діапазоні, а деякі в даний час залишаються до середини зими в найбільш північних місцях на широті Огайо.[11] Сірий пересмішник - мігруючий вид. Весняна міграція триває зі змінами від березня до травня, а осіння з кінця серпня до листопада. [12].

Птах має тенденцію уникати щільних безперервних лісів і не замешкує хвойних, соснових лісів. Віддають перевагу щільним заростям, особливо полюбляють тернисті кущі та рідколісся. [12] [13]. Трапляються серед чагарників, на узліссях, на зарослих сільськогосподарських угіддях і в покинутих садах. На Бермудських островах їхніми переважними місцями проживання є чагарникові скраби і миртові болота.[13]. Під час зимового сезону птахів приваблюють багаті на ягоди зарості, особливо близько водних джерел.[12].

Розмноження

Їх місцем розмноження є напіввідкриті ділянки з густою низькою чагарниковою рослинністю; вони також зустрічаються в міських , приміських і сільських місцях проживання. У зимові місяці вони, як виглядає, тримаються коло людей.[14] Ці птахи в основному шукають поживу на землі в листяній підстилці, а також у кущах і на деревах. Вони в основному їдять членистоногих і ягоди. У зимові місяці дереваCymbopetalum mayanum (Annonaceae) і Trophis racemosa (Moraceae) мають плоди, які полюбляють ці птахи, і такі дерева можна посадити, щоб привабити сірих пересмішників до парків і садів.[15]

Вони будують громіздке чашоподібне гніздо в кущі або на дереві, близько до землі. Яйця світло-блакитного кольору, а розмір кладки коливається від 1 до 5, найчастіше 2–3 яйця. Обоє батьків по черзі годують пташенят.

Хижаки і загрози

Зазвичай обережна пташка, але її можна приманити «пішинговим» звуком.[16] Сірі пересмішники не бояться хижаків і агресивно реагують на них, розпустивши крила і хвости, з характерним нявкаючим звуком. Відомі випадки, коли вони навіть атакують і клюють хижаків, які підходять надто близькі до їхніх гнізд. Вони також знищують яйця гніздового паразита вашера буроголового (Molothrus ater), підкинуті в їхні гніздах, розкльовуючи або викидаючи їх з гнізда.

Цей вид широко розповсюджений і, як правило, чисельний, хоча його звичка ховатися в гущавині роблять його менш помітним. Він не вважається під загрозою за шкалою МСОП як за поширенням, так і за кількістю. [17]

На Бермудських островах, однак, сірі пересмішники колись були дуже поширеними, але їх кількість значно скоротилася в останні роки через вирубування лісів і хижацтво гнізд з боку інтродукованих видів (включаючи пітангу велику (Pitangus sulphuratus)) і європейського шпака (Sturnus vulgaris ). У Сполучених Штатах цей вид користується спеціальним захистом згідно з Угодою про мігруючих птахів 1918 року.

Chim trưởng thành cân nặng 23,2-56,5 g, với cân nặng trung bình 35-40 g. Chúng có chiều dài 20,5–24 cm (8,1-9,4 in) và khoảng 22 đến 30 cm (8,7-11,8 in) trên cánh. Trong số đo tiêu chuẩn, cánh dài 8,4-9,8 cm (3,3-3,9 in), đuôi là 7,2-10,3 cm (2,8-4,1 in), culmen dài 1,5-1,8 cm

Коша́чий пересме́шник[1], кошачья птица[1], пти́ца-ко́шка[1] (лат. Dumetella carolinensis) — североамериканская певчая птица семейства пересмешниковых.

Описание

Длина тела кошачьего пересмешника от 21 до 24 см, крылья короткие закруглённые, хвост длинный закруглённый. Оперение серое, шапочка и хвост чёрные, низ каштанового цвета. Короткий клюв чёрный, также как глаза и лапы. Восточные популяции имеют более тёмную окраску, чем западные. Мужская и женская особи похожи. Птица подражает крикам других певчих птиц, а также «мяукает».

Местообитание

Кошачий пересмешник распространён в Канаде в Британской Колумбии, Альберте, Саскачеване и Манитобе, в США от Орегона до Нью-Мексико и на востоке до побережья. Она зимует на юго-востоке США, в Мексике вдоль восточного побережья и на Карибских островах. Птица обитает в густых зарослях, на лесных опушках и полянах, на брошенных фермах и реках, избегая местности, где слишком много хвойных деревьев.

Поведение

Кошачий пересмешник активен днём, скрываясь в кустарнике. Обычно он летает только на короткие дистанции от ветви к ветви, избегая перелёты над открытой местностью. Птица ищет на земле насекомых, семена и ягоды.

Размножение

Сезон гнездования продолжается с апреля вплоть до раннего августа. В это время моногамная птица обычно дважды откладывает яйца. Гнездо строит в кустах или среди густых нижних ветвей деревьев, иногда из клочков бумаги. Самка откладывает от 2 до 5 голубых яиц и высиживает одна примерно 2 недели. Обе родительских птицы прячут птенцов под крылом и кормят их маленькими беспозвоночными. На 10 — 11 день молодые птицы встают на крыло, через следующие 12 дней становятся самостоятельными, а через год половозрелыми.

Часто буроголовый коровий трупиал подкладывает в гнездо кошачьего пересмешника свои яйца, но, как правило, кошачий пересмешник узнаёт свои собственные яйца и избавляется от чужих. Однако если буроголовый коровий трупиал быстро заменяет выброшенные яйца, кошачьего пересмешника это сбивает с толку настолько, что он начинает принимать чужие яйца за собственные и выбрасывает собственные яйца из гнезда. Однако это происходит довольно редко.
