This is very interesting.  In my yard I had my second ever Wood Thrush singing 
the other night.  The other one was a migrating bird, but obviously this one is 
a local.

I wonder what's going on?  I would think that the young are out of the nest by 
now and territory lines and attracting mates are no longer important.  Then 
again, what I know about Wood Thrushes could fit into a thimble and still have 
room for an elephant!

I wonder if he's trying to nest a second time?
