		The Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) is presently considered to be a mimic thrush (Mimidae: mockingbirds and thrashers) (A.O.U. However, some of its characteristics suggest an affinity with true thrushes (Turdidae: thrushes, solitaires, and bluebirds).

	WHY DO BROWN TREMBLERS TREMBLE?
		Trembling appears to differ both in form and function from wing- flashing observed in other Mimidae, in which wings are raised up from the body, and in which the wing-flashing behavior is associated with foraging behavior (Hailman 1960) or with the presence of predators (Horwich 1965, Michael 1970).
		Trembling occurred during foraging and non-foraging activity; significant variation in its rate of occurrence was related to social context, not to foraging or to the presence of predators.
		The Brown Trembler (Cinclocerthia ruficauda), one of the endemic Mimidae of the Lesser Antilles, has a conspicuous and frequent habit of trembling its wings, the behavior for which it is named.
