  The melodious chirping sounds of a hermit thrush.

Spectrogram of hermit thrush. Spectrograms are graphs that visualize sounds. The brightness of the colors shows sounds’ amplitude (loudness) across different frequencies (pitches), shown from bottom to top, and over time, from left to right. This spectrogram visualizes the thrush's complex song. Note the slightly lower pitch in the second vocalization.
