Ginger,
I've been hearing Wood Thrushes calling for the past few AMs and PMs,
and today saw one behind the house. Also heard a call note from what I
immediately thought was a Veery this afternoon, then the longer I thought
about it I began to wonder if I could have been confusing it with a Flicker
call note. So got out my tape and listened to both and decided on Veery.
Did see the back of a bird yesterday for an instant, that I thought might
have been a Veery.

<< This morning at about 7:15 I heard what sounded like a Veery calling in the
woods near my porch. The loud, emphatic call came from about 30 to 40 feet
away. The bird also did a little quiet miscellaneous chatter between a
couple of the loud "VEEERRR" calls. After about 2 to 3 minutes, the bird
went deeper in the woods and quit calling. This would be a new yard bird if
it really was a Veery. Sure sounded like it. Checklist shows it as possible
now.
