The research I am interpreting is primarily focused on the
Veery resides in the forest where it is more often heard than
seen. The Veery has a beautiful distinctive song.
Recording and sonogram provided by Ethan Duke.
A sonagram, or more descriptively called a sound spectrogram,
plots the sounds frequency against time and it makes a visual
representation of the sound. Frequency is measured in hertz or
kilohertz. Investigators have found that a particular bird has
specific songs for specific events. To the human ear, we may not
catch the subtle differences, but with a sonagram, this problem
is diminished. Researchers and sound recordist typically use a
computer software program called Raven to make sonagrams.
Veeries inhabit deciduous forests in North America
where they nest on the ground or low in shrubs.
Veeries are ground foragers eating primarily
insects.
