Wood Thrushes are Drew Alumni, Too
Born in the Forest, wood thrushes return every spring, traveling 2,000 miles from their tropical winter homes. It’s a long journey, but they love and and recognize the trees where they were reared. Learn more about these migratory birds in an article by Chris Hepburn.
