 Veery, Great Lakes Bird Conservation
In Vermont, for example, where Veery shares breeding grounds with Swainson's Thrush, Veery breeds in deciduous forests only; in Tennessee, by contrast, where Swainson's Thrush is absent, Veery uses deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests (Noon 1977).
Since Veery prefers habitat with dense understory, areas cleared 40-60 years ago are much preferred to areas cleared 10-20 years ago (Suthers 1987-1988).
