Veery

Species: Veery (Catharus fuscescens)
Family: Turdidae
Date: 6.29.15


      
   


Observation:

We have been treated to singing Veeries all summer long; they are the most noticeable singers at dusk.  Yesterday, I spotted one for the first time as it was feeding with the robins on the lawn during the afternoon.  It hung around for a short time, and perched in view for a brief photo-op.


A Fact from Alice:

Veery can fly up to 160 miles in one night, and they can fly at altitudes up to 1.2 miles.
