Fun Facts

  • Many people consider the Wood Thrush one of North America's finest songbirds.
  • Their song can sound like several birds singing at once because they use both sides of their voice box independently.
  • Wood Thrushes forage on the forest floor for insects, worms, and berries.
  • They migrate to Central America for the winter before returning north each spring.
