The thrush alone declares the immortal wealth and vigor that is in the forest. ... Whenever a man hears it he is young, and Nature is in her spring; whenever he hears it, it is a new world and a free country, and the gates of heaven are not shut against him.Here's the song in question. I think I might have heard this song today and also before, but I am not 100% sure. Sometimes the actual birdsong sounds different from what you get on the recordings. It is supposed to be found around here this time a year, I think.
EDIT: It wasn't a wood thrush after all, but a red-winged blackbird, which sound vague similar if you don't know the difference. Sigh!
