Hi Evan,

The Albert Lyrebird I studied on Tamborine Mt (In from Gold Cost) for some 
years in the 1960's did a pretty good Green Catbird call in his mimicry.  But I 
don't know if Superbs ever do so.  And of course you wouldn't be mistaken 
anyway, because of the other calls/songs obviously coming from the same source, 
if it were a lyrebird.

Cheers

Syd
