Is it that the experts doubt that you saw a Gray Catbird, or is it that they
doubt that the bird even exists in Tennessee ?
I have seen lots of Gray Catbirds in Florida. Totally gray, black crown,
with a red rump if it is turned around and you can see the rump. There are
lots of them in Florida.
In Memphis, Tennessee we saw one deep in the brush on President's Island
in 2005, and also in east Memphis I had one come to my birdbath on
April 5, 2006. Neither of these sightings were during the Great Bird Count
time frame. But Tennessee does have Gray Catbirds.
It is also true that without a photograph, all of our bird sightings are
just
hear-say evidence.
