Would any know if Green Catbirds mimic other bird species?  I heard a number
of calls recently coming from one spot in the rain forest.  The calls were
similar to mimicry of the Albert's Lyrebird (also in the area) but without
the richness of the Lyrebird. After a bit a searching we saw a Green catbird
in the trees, but by this time the calls had stopped and the Catbird
produced his own cat like wail.  We didn't hear the original calls again.
I've looked in my bird books but unable to find anything about mimicry with
Catbirds.
