MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: BARN OWL vs. WOOD THRUSH

IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have a wrestler with eerie beauty and deadly grace, the silent assassin of the ring, the barn owl!

despite its soft plumage and its sweet, heart-shaped face, this is an opponent that demands respect. the barn owl is incredibly agile, able to fly silently through the air and strike its opponents with deadly precision. you might think that, like any owl, the barn owl will hoot - but if you run with that assumption, you'll be in for a nasty surprise when you hear that piercing, ear-shattering shriek.

IN THE RED CORNER, it's time to face the music. hailing from the lush forests of north america, it's the wood thrush!

this is a fierce opponent that's been training for this competition its entire life. this bird is able to sing not one, but two notes at the same time, giving its song an ethereal, flute-like quality. the wood thrush is here tonight to prove that it's not just a pretty face - this is a true championship contender. get ready, because the wood thrush is here to sing his way to victory!

Wood Thrush

To identify a wood thrush, keep an eye out for black spots on a white chest, and brown back feathers that transition to reddish hues on the head.

"Seemingly not as shy as the other brown thrushes, not as bold as the Robin, the Wood Thrush seems intermediate between those two related groups. It sometimes nests in suburbs and city parks, and it is still common in many eastern woodlands, where its flutelike songs add music to summer mornings. However, numbers of Wood Thrushes have declined seriously in recent decades, focusing the attention of conservationists on the problems facing our migratory birds."
