About this episode
The fluting song of the Wood Thrush is an ethereal sound of summer in North America. During the breeding season, these robin-sized songsters serenade deciduous forests of the eastern U.S. and Canada. Each fall, they migrate to rainforests from southern Mexico to Panama where they call to each other from the underbrush. For Wood Thrushes, not just any woods will do. They depend on large blocks of intact forest throughout their range. We can help these virtuosic songsters by conserving and restoring woodlands throughout the Americas. That includes planting native trees in urban green spaces and buying bird-friendly coffee that’s cultivated without destroying the crucial habitats that support the Wood Thrush’s priceless song.
Support comes from Wild Delight Bird Food, offering a variety of blends designed to mimic the natural resources wild birds crave, available at Chewy.com.
