What does VEERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small North American thrush known for its clear, downward-spiralling song.
The veery is a reddish-brown songbird found in damp woodlands across much of North America, prized by birdwatchers for its haunting, flute-like song that seems to spiral down in pitch. It belongs to the same family as other spotted thrushes but is paler and less heavily marked on the breast than close relatives such as the wood thrush. The veery migrates long distances each year, breeding in northern forests and wintering in South America. Its name is thought to imitate the sound of its distinctive call.
