The wood thrush

One of the most beautiful woodland sounds for me is the song of the wood thrush. I miss it now that they have stopped singing for the season. We hear them from late April to July in the early morning, late afternoon, and at dusk. Some days they never stop. Where to they get the energy? Suddenly, in late July, the music dies. They cease singing for the season, though we see them often.
