Serenades: Hermit Thrush

The Hermit Thrush is a forest songbird with a drab brown plumage, and well-known melancholy song.

They lurk in the understories of northern forests in the summer, and the southern forests in the winter.

Their song begins with a sustained whistle, and follows with echoing tones that sound like they drift away at the end.
