woodbird
Tree-dwelling avian creature
A woodbird is any bird that lives in or frequents woodland habitats.
The term is general and somewhat literary, appearing more often in poetry and older nature writing than in modern ornithology: The woodbirds sang at dawn.
It may refer to specific species like woodpeckers, thrushes, or warblers, depending on context.
