Oh, thrushes...
Most of them are brown-backed with spotted white breasts and flutey voices. I can't imitate or describe their voices except to say that they're heavenly. You have to hear them to believe them.
One of my favorites is the veery. The bird can sing melody and harmony at the same time and the song spirals around itself....
Some thrush song spirals up the scale, some cascades down. Some are flute-like, some are more wiry-sounding. But all thrushes seem to be songsters.
Robins are a member of the thrush family--they sing nice, too.
