Veery, Catharus fuscescens: McGee Marsh, Ohio
As mentioned in the May 15th
post, the Veery has perhaps the most beautiful song of any of the
thrushes. It certainly has, in my
opinion. You can checkout the song in my May 15th
post here, http://bobbyharrison.blogspot.com/search/label/Veery, and hear for yourself. In May, I found
a pair of very cooperative veeries along the woodland edge adjacent to the
parking lot while visiting Magee Marsh during "The Biggest Week in American Birding."
While shooting this bird in
the leaf litter, it must have read my mind. As it hopped through the leaves I was saying to myself, "move to the moss, move to the moss," when it
abruptly changed direction and hopped on to the moss near the base of a
tree. The greenery made the photo for
me. Now, if that would just work all the
time!
