Band Members: HERMIT THRUSHThe hermit thrush is among the most celebrated of American bird musicians. It is known for a song made up of one flute-like note, followed by a complec and hauntingly ethereal series of ascending and descending notes. This song is different every time it is sung. The hermit thrush also has a second, lower-pitched and abrupt song to make its presence known. It is the state bird of Vermont and has been referenced in poetry by Walt Whitman, T.S. Eliot, and Amy Clampitt."Solitary, the thrush,
The hermit, withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements,
Sings by himself a song.Song of the bleeding throat!
Death’s outlet song of life—(for well, dear brother, I know
If thou wast not gifted to sing, thou would’st surely die.)- Walt Whitman
BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEEThe black-capped chickadee sings thirteen different types of songs. They are best-know for their alarm call, "Chick-a-dee-dee-dee," from which they take their name, and their simple two-note song "Yoo-hoo" to which another chickadee will often reply "Hey, You" at a slightly lower pitch. The black-capped chickadee is the state bird of both Massachusetts and Maine, and the provincial bird of New Brunswick.
RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRDYou would be quite fortunate to see a hummingbird at Firefly but you have a good chance of seeing one at a work weekend. They are named for the humming sound they make with their wings, but they also sing a high-pitched and distinctive territorial song. They are the only hummingbirds to nest in the eastern U.S., and unlike many birds, they are polyamorous.MORE BIRD BIOS COMING SOON!P.S. Please let us know if you have any info about the types of woodpeckers that live at the Firefly site.
