I think the song of the Hermit Thrush is one of my all time favorite bird songs because it so soothing and relaxing to me. I ♥ to hear it in the woods ringing and echoing amongst the trees. A person can drift and lose themselves in a moment of peace when listening to this song. I sometimes listen to it before retiring for the evening just to have something relaxing on my mind before sleep.
Here is a link to a web page that has an approximately one minute recording of this beautiful song:
