This is about a month early for a migrant Catbird. EBird shows them historically (the last 20 years when there has been eBird) starting to return to Tompkins the last week of April and here in full force the first week of May. But during this balmy winter, quite a few Catbirds didn’t bother to migrate, so maybe this is one of those birds who gambled on an inconsequential winter and won. Even so, this could be “your” Catbird. Did it sing? Either way, I agree you are fortunate, and I’m sure your excellent yard habitat is part of the reason it’s there.
