it is bathing in rain?

Although your picture looks as if it was a dry day.

It was a dry day.

A keeper was cleaning out the enclosure so it could have been disturbed by that.

Do you have a list of the birds seen?
Were the catbirds on exhibit?

Yes, I do, but not as a list of the birds for the whole zoo but pictures of all the signage so I can't easily produce a list of birds for the entire zoo.

The catbirds were on exhibit, though very shy and all I saw of them was a silhouette in the doorway to the indoor area.

Here is a list of birds in the sort of pheasantry area around where all the laughingthrushes, pheasants, hornbills, pigeons etc. are:

Rufous Hornbill, White-eared Pheasant, Black-eared Catbird, Helmeted Friarbird, Yellow-faced Mynah, Blue-tailed Imperial-pigeon, Pheasant-pigeon, Brahminy Starling, Sri-lankan Junglefowl, Crested Mynah, Scarlet-faced Liocichla, Jones' Silver Pheasant, Red-beilled Leiothrix, Scaly Laughingthrush, White-bellied Go-away Bird, White-crested Hornbill, White-headed Buffalo-weaver, Yellow-necked Francolin, White-throated Laughingthrush, Cheer Pheasant, Vietnamese Pheasant, Red-winged Laughingthrush, Green Imperial-pigeon, Edward's Pheasant, White-crested Laughingthrush, Speckled Mousebird, Pink Pigeon, Vulturine Guineafowl, Eastern Yellow-billed Hornbill, Zarudny's Pheasant, Zerafshan Pheasant, Buffy Fish-owl, Great Indian Hornbill, Pink-headed Imperial Pigeon, Sunda Laughingthrush, Asian Glossy Starling, Nicobar Pigeon, Great Argus, Northern Helmeted Curassow, Spectacled Owl, Green Peafowl, Pied Imperial Pigeon, Java Sparrows, Rothschild's Mynah, Rufous-fronted Laughingthrush, Oriental Bay Owl, White-collared Kingfisher, Malaysian Peacock-pheasant, Javan Whistling Thrush, Black-and-white Laughingthrush, Salvadori's Pheasant, Visayan Tarictic Hornbill, Coleto, Philippine Scops Owl, Palawan Peacock Pheasant, Spotted Imperial Pigeon, Asian Glossy Starling, Bleeding-heart Pigeon, Chestnut-winged Laughingthrush, Spotted Laughingthrush, Chinese Spotted Dove.
