Day 306: Wood Thrush

The first time I heard a Wood Thrush, I was immediately captivated by its beautiful, flute-like song. The bird's melody pierced the quiet calm of the forest with a haunting sweetness. Since then, the Wood Thrush has been one of my favorite birds. We have been lucky to have one live in the woods behind our apartment for the past two summers, and I love hearing it sing as I wake up in the morning.
