The Veery is a member of the Spotted-Breasted Thrush family.   They are listed as common in our area.  They nest on or near the ground in deciduous woods.  It has a beautiful song and it is such a treat to hear it.  There are a couple of very specific spots in Forestville that if I am hiking through in the morning in the summer, I am almost sure to hear the Veery.  Both trails involve steep hills, but I am willing to pay the price to hear this bird singing.
