The Wood Thrush is a medium-sized songbird native to North America, particularly found in deciduous forests. It is known for its distinctive, melodic song, which consists of a series of flutelike notes. The bird has a brownish upper body and a white underbelly speckled with dark spots, making it easily recognizable.
Wood Thrushes primarily feed on insects, fruits, and berries, playing a vital role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds. They typically nest in shrubs or low trees, where they lay 3 to 5 eggs. Their populations are affected by habitat loss and changes in land use, making conservation efforts important for their survival.
