Wood thrush 



" Where the violet shadows brood 

 Under cottonwoods and beeches, 

 Through whose leaves the restless reaches 

 Of the river glance, I've stood, 



While the red-bird and the thrush 

 Set to song the morning hush." 



Wood thrash, " Song thrush." — Size: Smaller than a robin. 



General color: Above, brown, brighter on the head; below, white, with 

 large round black spots. 



Distinctive features: The large round spots scattered over the snowy 

 white underparts will distinguish this bird.
