Their song "Sister" is a favorite of many, and State Radio (Chad's band after Dispatch) covered it once.
Also Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) is a medium-sized North American thrush. It is not very closely related to the other North American migrant species of Catharus, but rather to the Mexican Russet Nightingale-thrush.
Description
This species is 15–17 cm in length, and has the white-dark-white underwing pattern characteristic of Catharus thrushes. Adults are mainly brown on the upperparts, with reddish tails. The underparts are white with dark spots on the breast and grey or brownish flanks. They have pink legs and a white eye ring. Birds in the east are more olive-brown on the upperparts; western birds are more grey-brown.
Behavior
Their breeding habitat is coniferous or mixed woods across Canada, Alaska and the northeastern and western United States. They make a cup nest on the ground or relatively low in a tree.
Hermit Thrushes migrate to wintering grounds in the southern United States and south to Central America. Although they usually only breed in forests, Hermit Thrushes will sometimes winter in parks and wooded suburban neighborhoods. They are very rare vagrants to western Europe.
They forage on the forest floor, also in trees or shrubs, mainly eating insects and berries.
Song
Hermit Thrush's song is ethereal and flute-like, constructed from a descending musical phrase repeated at different pitches. They often sing from a high open location.

I have often wondered what the song of the hermit thrush sounded like, ever since I read T.S Eliot's famous poem, The Wasteland.
"Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop"

The thrushes song is very beautiful.
Thank you for posting this lovely video.

When this bird sings and the acoustics in the woods are just right, the echo and ambiance of sound is indescribable.

It really is! I just found that this is the bird I hear in the woods!

Exactly, I hear it every summer morn & eve, and no other bird's song reverberates thru the woods like this one, it's so soothing. I only see & hear loons for very short periods, but the thrush song thru the woods has similarities to a loon's song over the water.

My stepmom, who is a former birder in her 90s, has hearing loss and can no longer hear the high-pitched song in the forest surrounding her home. I played this video at full volume for her, and her face immediately lit up. I know it’s not the same as hearing the real thing but she still enjoyed it. 💕
