Bird songs are filling the landscape as we progress through spring and migrating songbirds return to their breeding grounds. Songs can range from simple and short, like the loud clear paired whistles of a tufted titmouse, to long and complex, like the bubbly musical trills from a winter wren. One of the families that I look forward to the most, as their sounds return and fill the forests, is the thrushes. In Maine, we have seven breeding species of thrushes. ~ Maine Audubon Staff Naturalist Doug Hitchcox
