This bird is also known as ** tawny thrush " and *' ; It was named "Wilson's thrush" in honor of that illustrious Scotchman who is called the Father of American Ornithology, and the bird gained the sobriquet of " tawny " through wearing a rufous-tinted jacket, while the name of "veery " was suggested by the bird's song, which bears a resemblance to the words veery veery veery.

I take sides with Nuttall against the "veery" version, though I do not think that the song is well represented by any of these phrases. I doubt if either of them will convey a correct idea.
