"Thrush, in ornithology, is the name for any of the Turdidæ. They are universally distributed, and are very highly organized birds, and it is for this reason, perhaps, as well as on account of their omnivorous diet, that they have been able to establish themselves on a number of remote islands. They differ widely in their habits and in their habitats; some are gregarious, others live solitarily or in pairs. The wood thrush is abundant in North America. "—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
