Where to spot
Widespread across North America, breeding in a variety of habitats from dense thickets and overgrown fields to suburban gardens. Winters in the southeastern US, Caribbean, and Central America.
How to spot
Look for its uniform gray body, black cap, and the rusty patch under its tail. Listen intently for its distinctive 'mew' call or its long, jumbled song, which includes mimicry.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Best observed during spring and summer in breeding grounds, or winter in migratory range.
