  • Wood Thrushes are medium-sized, pot-bellied songbirds with dark spotting on their breast, and rich, brick-red coloration on their upperparts. Like other thrushes, they have a beautiful, flute-like song, which is commonly heard during spring and summer in deciduous forests of the eastern U.S.

      In a native American legend, they say that the Wood Thrush got it's song after flying so high that it saw the spirit world high in the Heavens. Its song is inspired by that ethereal other world and it is the greatest song of all the birds.

    Saw one of these for the first time 03/2024. Live in a single family home in suburbs of the Piedmont in North Carolina, USA. Neighborhood has lots of mature trees but isn't a "wooded area," per se. It was guzzling peanuts at our peanut hopper. We had to look it up in our NC bird ID field guide to ID it. Rare sighting at our backyard feeder. We were delighted to say the least!

      Oh gosh do I know that frustrating feeling of hearing a mysterious bird call and not being able to identify it! I remember hearing this one bird in Virginia around spring, flying high in the canopy of some very tall trees. It was singing a gorgeous tune I had never heard before. I was new to Virginia, and lived there for two years. Never heard that bird again since that one time.

    • @HabitualJoker
      @HabitualJoker Před rokem +1

      @@BlinkinFirefly I hope that you discover that bird song once again! It does make it difficult with birds that migrate. I only hear the song of the wood thrush for MAYBE a full month out of the year. Even then, I hear it only sparingly. When I do hear it, I just stop, close my eyes, and listen and soak it in. I hope that you find your lost bird one of these days!

      @BlinkinFirefly Před rokem +1

      @@HabitualJoker Thank you! Yeah, I was thinking similarly, that it might just be a migrating bird taking a break in the neighborhood. And also similarly, hearing the wood thrush was a rare treat for me too. Indeed, just savoring the song is all one can do ^^ I wish I could describe the mystery bird's call, but I forgot exactly how it sounded. How I wish I had recorded it, but the moment was so fleeting.

    Beautiful. Our wood thrush also has a beautiful song. And they’re in trouble and are in steep decline. They’re on the watchlist (yellow phase) for status, and they’re considered endangered. I can’t even imagine what it will sound like if the wood thrush were no more, leaving us nothing but electronic echos of songs we’ll never hear in the wild again.

    The wood thrush, it is! Now I know
    Who sings that clear arpeggio,
    Three far notes weaving
    Into the evening
    Among leaves
    And shadow;
    Or at dawn in the woods I've heard
    The sweet ascending triple word
    Echoing over
    The silent river
    But never
    Seen the bird.
