DID YOU KNOW?
- The wood thrush likes to stay in the shade. It
sings at dawn before the sun is up. It sings in the evening when the sun goes down. In the
day, it is quiet.
- There are fewer and fewer wood thrushes. One reason
is the cowbird. Cowbirds steal the wood thrushes' eggs. They put their own eggs in the
wood thrushes' nests. Lots of baby cowbirds hatch, but not very many baby wood thrushes.
