Wood Thrush,Hylocichla mustelina.
April 14 to October 8. Common summer resident. The habitat requirement is
fairly open mature forest with an understory of small trees and shrubs in
which the bird builds its nest. When habitat is suitable, including
extensively forested areas in
lightly developed sections of towns, it is rather common. In the Winslow area,
for example, it was "very common ... especially so in the deep ravines ... It
is not uncommon to see and hear as high as 100 singing males in a single
afternoon around the first of May when the spring migration is at its height" (Black 1935).
American Robin,Turdus migratorius.
Common permanent resident. It forms large roosts in winter when the crops of
wild berries (cedar, hackberry, blackgum, poison ivy, etc.) are available in
sufficient abundance.
