I am in the North Georgia mountain area in light woods.  I keep hearing what sounds like a cat crying in the afternoons.  I think it's a bird because the sound seems to move but I have never seen anything.  Help!

Perhaps a Gray Catbird?  Here  is a page about them. Click on "Play sound from this species", and you can hear their call. Wait until the end of the recording to hear the cat-like "Meow!"

Its probably a Gray Catbird.

Thanks to the two who responded to my question about a "mewing bird."  I was out back yesterday in the evening and again heard the sound but closer.  I looked toward it and a screech owl flew into a tree nearby.  I don't know why the owl would make the noise during daylight hours, but we have never heard it after dark -- just the soft cooing hoots.
