Another Song Memorized
While enjoying the bonfires this weekend there were two birds I wanted to figure out. One of them sings "Ee-oh-lay" in a flute like voice. That made me think of a thrush because robins and veerys are thrushes and they make similar sounds. Woot Woot! I was right. What we were hearing sing "Ee-oh-lay" is a wood thrush. I've seen wood thrushes in my yard before hopping on the ground like a robin and moving leaves aside to eat insects. So maybe I still don't know what the other bird is but I got one figured out and I even correctly guessed it was in the thrush family. The other bird sounds mechanical and I can't even begin to describe it except the word unpleasant comes to mind. Maybe it's not even a bird. I know it's not a frog but maybe it's a loud bug.
