Veery

The veery is a cute, reddish-brown thrush that visits Marion County in September and October on its way to wintering in Central and South America. Look for it hopping along on the ground in the woods and listen for its beautiful reedy song with trilling notes that sound like “veer.” This one was photographed in Silver Springs State Park.
