Brown Thrasher

It's many variations of continuous songs (more than 1,100 types) can drive you bonkers almost as much as a mockingbird can.

Black Vulture

Lacking a good sense of smell, these smaller vultures soar higher than Turkey Vultures (who do have good sniffers) to keep an eye on where they're going and hopefully follow them to carcasses.

Wood Thrush

Probably my favorite bird!!! At least my favorite bird song. You don't see these very often, they live deep in the forest, but you hear their soft lovely flute-like trill call and it is just divine.

Yellow-breasted Chat

This bird shares the award for Longest Time Took to Figure Out What Bird Is Making that Call (the Woodcock was the other one).
