Do you ever hear a song and feel it so deeply in your soul that it becomes part of you? For many of you (if our YouTube comments are to be believed), that song might be the Swainson’s Thrush! We get it! As the only North American thrush species with an ascending song, the Swainson's Thrush is known for its captivating vocalizations. Only the male sings, but both sexes give a variety of distinctive call notes, including a soft "whit," and a frog-like flight call heard during nocturnal migration.
