I too have noticed many many catbirds. But I think they are just passing
through en masse. Two days ago, there were something like twenty
catbirds in an area not much bigger than a football field near my house
in Columbia. I wouldn't expect to see more than a pair in that sized
area during breeding. Yesterday, their numbers were down, but they were
replaced by indigo buntings, again upwards of twenty in that small area.
 And today the indigo buntings will be replaced by rain...
