"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]."

It features a black cap on its head and reddish-brown undertail coverts, which stand out against its otherwise gray plumage. The bird has a slender shape, a long tail, and a short, slightly curved bill. Its overall appearance is quite unassuming, but it is known for its distinctive, varied vocalizations.
