A sound that can now be heard in American woodlands from the Atlantic coast to the Rockies, and one of our favorite bird calls: the song of the male wood thrush. Henry David Thoreau wrote of the wood thrush,
"This is the only bird whose note affects me like music. It lifts and exhilarates me. It is inspiring. It changes all hours to an eternal morning."The summer solstice in this part of the world is at 11:54 EDT tomorrow. Have a summer full of eternal mornings!
I'm in SW Ohio and we have a nice range of songbirds. But on a visit to North Carolina, there were birds singing at night. I never hear birds singing after dark where I live. So I googled and discovered that it may have been either a mockingbird, thrush, or nightingale. Very pretty, ut not outside my room after dark.
