While walking in the woods I ran into our state bird here in Vermont, the Hermit Thrush.

It looks similar to several other thrush species, but can be distinguished by a reddish tail contrasting with the brown upper back, clearly seen here.
As the name suggests, they tend to hide in the brush and are more often heard than seen. Their flutelike song sounds captivatingly mystical when echoing through the trees. You can listen to them here.
