Hi Birders! First post for a couple of years. Re-subscribed just to tell you about this.
Staying with family in Linden recently, I heard a Green Catbird calling from one of the wet gullies near by. Shamefully I didn’t get after it for a visual, mostly because our baby wasn’t keen on any more birding, but the call is pretty unmistakable. New bird in the Bluies for me, which I didn’t think would happen again after living there for a few years. I’ve even got Topknot Pigeon up there.

Hi Syd,
I had wondered about a Lyrebird. In any event, it shows there was a Catbird there; either now or previously. It’s a pretty unusual record for the Bluies.

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
