Hermit thrush at the pond, Dec 1, 2022, Rondeau Provincial Park.
A late season visit, hopefully it is somewhere warmer that our yard.
A weather bomb is coming tonight, heavy rain then a flash freeze with temperatures dropping form 4C to - 10C, 41F to 14F, in two hours, followed by heavy snow and big winds.
The winds are expected to drive 25 foot, 8 metre, waves on shore at various points on the great lakes.
Right now it looks like we will be on the leeward - sheltered, side from these big waves.
Catharus guttatus.
A more hardy bird than the other brown-backed thrushes, the Hermit migrates north earlier in spring and lingers later in fall than the others; it is the only one likely to be seen in winter in North America. If startled from the ground in the forest interior it often perches low and stares at the observer, flicking its wings nervously and slowly raising and lowering its tail. In summer, its clear, pensive song is heard in forests of the mountains and the north.

Local birders identified both a Hermit Thrush and a Swainson's Thrush in the same area. As the apparently distinct tail colour of the Hermit Thrush can't be seen here, I am guessing. Either way, I'm happy as both are lifers for me.

Finally got to see this very rare beauty today. The Hermit Warbler normally found in States of Washington, Oregon and California so a special treat for Newfoundland.
A few days ago, I spent the afternoon exploring San Bernard NWR and while there weren’t as many photo opportunities as I wanted there were plenty of birds around. After going through my photos from the outing the one I ended up liking the most was one of the first from the trip. There is almost nothing about the situation that I would ask for when taking bird photos but somehow it seems to work for me.
The conditions were pretty dark under the canopy and there were lots of super-bright hotspots all over the place making exposure challenging. The bird was small in the frame making focus difficult. There were lots of extraneous twigs and leaves in the background and foreground to distract the viewer. I almost didn’t take the photo at all but I had already spent so much time watching this Hermit Thrush that it just seemed wrong not to take at least one picture.
It wasn’t until I got home and started working on it that I saw something that I found pleasing. I think for me the thing that makes this image is the leaves. There is something about them that I find appealing. Any thoughts?

I checked out Monticello Park in Alexandria this week; it seems to be a bit early for warblers, but there were a few Hermit Thrushes and the normal cast of Robins, Blue Jays and Cardinals.
One of my favorite birds, the Hermit Thrush, is migrating through The Poconos currently.
This one was photographed in the yard yesterday morning, and was just giving its "chuck" call.
In the coming months their ethereal songs will be resonating throughout the forests around my woodland home.

Yesterday I visited Gaddy's Garden and found several migrating birds. I wish I had stayed longer, but I was pressed for time. The Hermit Thrush was all over the place and was a good-looking bird. Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, Missouri.
Long-billed Hermit (Phaethornis longirostris) hummingbitd feeding from flowers, with his head full of pollen. Pollination is critical for flower reproduction and hummingbirds play a crucial role in the pollination of many different flower types some of them have even evolved specific characteristics to entice hummingbirds to help their reproduction.

Herman Hermit belts out Reveille at a temporarily abandoned drip at Davis Mountains State Park. The staff had curtailed stocking the feeders in an effort to reduce the threat of bird flu. While there was little concentration of birds at the blinds, luckily plenty of birds were still dispersed throughout the park. Hermit Thrush in Jeff Davis County, Texas.
