Here is my entry for Granny Shot It’s  Bird of the Day (BOTD) challenge.

The gray catbird has its name for good reason. The sound that comes from this elusive fellow sounds just like a cat in heat. You would think, oh it is just another gray bird, but when you get it in focus with the binoculars or your camera lens, you see that famous black mohawk on the top of its head. I think I will call this the “Mr. T” of the birding world.

      You can often hear them & not see them.
