I was at the lake to see if there were any duckling or goslings around. I didn't see any babies yet, but wandered across this little thrush who was singing a beautiful song.
Late last fall, I posted a shot of this beautiful little bird as he passed through during fall migration. He's back; on his return to the breeding grounds. I know he did not appreciate the snow we had which made his foraging for food in the fallen leaves more difficult. I love the shape, manner and flute-like song of this wonderful bird. If you want to lighten your heart a bit, go to www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Hermit_Thrush and hit the "Listen" button.
Cold day for this little Hermit today, actually seen 3 of them which is unusual for this time of year.
This Hermit Thrush hung around for a few days during fall migration. Such a pleasant, unassuming bird identifiable by its rich brown body and smudged spots on its breast. The reddish tail distinguishes it from other thrushes. In the spring, its flute-like, melancholy song is a joy to behold. Here the Hermit Thrush is in its normal habitat, near the ground rummaging through fallen leaves. I was sorry to see him depart.
This comparatively large hummingbird, which is endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome, is easily identified within its range by virtue of it being the only larger, predominantly green and gray-plumaged hermit, with a rather long, decurved, bill.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Thursday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!
