Bird sound ID

[Zag]

So the last week or so I’ve been hearing this god of full nose in my neighbors pine trees, it sounds like a kitten screeching for the mother. My other neighbor has a bunch of cats so I thought I was correct. Well I just saw a decent size bird ( maybe a foot tall) land on my neighbor’s roof. My trucks in the shop so I couldn’t glass it and didn’t think about trying to zoom in a pic. Any ideas?

Kind of but this bird I saw was much bigger.

Sounds like a catbird to me....

If you see a seat , up in the tree, that confirms it’s a catbird .

Vote for catbird.  They have a wide variety of songs and sounds outside the standard “meow” sound too.  Wife text me last year asking what bird would make this sound

Seen my itself . rather than having a bluejay for size comparison  a catbird can appear like a bigger bird, due to it's upright stance and long tail...

I hear that all the time I think, it's not that unusual is it??

Sounds like a Catbird ; what color was it ?

[Pygmy]

Not al all, Larry...They are very common, at least down here in Dogpatch....They really like dense brushy stuff, like multiflora rose and russian olive....Sis and I have lots up on the property, and they relatively tame...They'll come out for bugs within 10-15 yards of us and do not appear too alarmed at our presence..

I’m gonna have to track this damn bird down for a pic
