Gray catbirds breed during the spring and summer. They usually raise two broods per season. Gray catbirds breed between April and early August.

Do gray catbirds mate for life?

Mating Habits

A Gray catbird is monogamous, and so has only one mate. Pairs form soon after birds arrive at the breeding grounds in spring, where courtship displays begin.

Do catbirds return to the same place every year?

Individual catbirds (and numerous other species) return to the same habitat patch to nest year after year, as long as they are fortunate enough to survive from one season to the next.
