Hermit Thrush
Catharus guttatus
An adult forest songbird of coniferous, mixed, and deciduous woods, often foraging on or near the ground. It eats insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates in warmer months, with berries and fruits becoming important during migration and winter. Adults are shy and often slip through the understory rather than staying exposed. Its clear, flute-like song is one of the most noted sounds of North American forests.
