i love catbirds. through my semi-obsessive reading about bird/human interactions in the northeast in the past hundred years, i have read indications that catbirds used to shy away from people, but that fruit-planted gardens and suet-laden birdfeeding stations seem to have made them increasingly less shy in their behavior in cities and suburbs.
or, as a book put it, "if you have fruit planted in your garden, you've probably already met your local catbird."
