🐦Gray catbird

Dumetella carolinensis (Linnaeus, 1766)

灰嘲鸫(學名:Dumetella carolinensis,台湾作灰貓嘲鶇)是雀形目嘲鸫科灰貓嘲鶇屬下唯一的鳥類。主要分布於北美洲,會進行遷徙往來加拿大南部至美國東南部及加勒比地區。牠們為雜食性,以水果、昆蟲為食,是嘲鶇科家族中體型最小的成員之一。也是北美洲東部數量豐富、眾所周知的常見鳥類。 牠們全身通灰,尾巴內側則有栗色的羽毛,這種顏色是牠們最為明顯的特徵,並也相當容易從其他相似鳥類中分別出來。因為其喉嚨內的特殊構造,灰貓嘲鶇的叫聲相當豐富多變,可發出超過100種不同叫聲,但最為著名的叫聲是其中一種類似貓的叫聲,故得名「貓鳥」。繁殖時採一夫一妻制,在樹上築巢,平均產3—4顆藍綠色外殼的蛋,在12—14天孵化,並於孵化後8—12天離巢。其數量穩定且分布範圍廣大,因此在《國際自然保護聯盟瀕危物種紅色名錄》被劃為無危物種。
