- A Veery opens with its unmistakable song, breathy flute-like phrases spiraling downward in overlapping loops.
- A Veery unspools another phrase, a downward-spiraling churn of flute tones that seems to corkscrew toward the forest floor.
- A Veery pours out another cascading, downward-spiraling flute-song, rich and liquid.
- A Veery sounds its downward-spiraling flute-song again, each phrase coiling inward like slow-poured bronze.
- A Common Yellowthroat cuts in with a rolling, emphatic witchity-witchity, bouncing just under the Veery.
