veery
The veery (''Catharus fuscescens'') is a small North American thrush species, a member of a group of closely related and similar species in the genus ''Catharus'', also including the gray-cheeked thrush (''C. minimus'') and Bicknell's thrush (''C. bicknelli'').〔Winker & Pruett (2006)〕 Alternate names for this species include Wilson's thrush (named so after Alexander Wilson〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wilson's thrush )〕) and tawny thrush.

Princeton University Press (2001), ISBN 978-0691088525〕 The veery shows the characteristic underwing stripe of ''Catharus'' thrushes. Adults are mainly light brown on the upperparts. The underparts are white; the breast is light tawny with faint brownish spots. Veeries have pink legs and a poorly defined eye ring. Birds in the eastern portions of the species' breeding range are more cinnamon on the upperparts; western birds are more olive-brown. In the east, the veery is distinguished easily by its coloration; distinguishing western veeries from other ''Catharus'' thrushes is more difficult.〔()〕
This bird has a breezy, downward-spiralling, flute-like song, often given from a low and concealed perch. The most common call is a harsh, descending ''vee-er'', which gave the bird its name.
