Veeries are another common bird found in Killbear Provincial Park. Usually heard long before I could get a look at them. They forage on the ground and logs for invertebrate prey, somewhat in the manner of American Robin or Hermit Thrush, peering around, then moving a short distance and repeating the process.
Veeries are medium-sized thrushes—smaller than an American Robin but similar in shape. They have a plump body, round head, a straight, narrow bill, and fairly long wings and legs.

Most Veeries are uniformly bright cinnamon-brown above with indistinct spotting on the chest and pale underparts. The throat is white with a buffy-orange cast.
