Hermit Thrush

Hermit Thrush Visits!

This adorable Hermit Thrush has entertained us for the last couple of weeks.  There are at least two visiting the waterfall each morning and evening.  The visits are around 7 a.m. and again between 5 and 5:30p.m., most days.  We have barely had coffee before we must move to the porch to watch for our little friend. Cameras set up, binoculars close, "There he is, one of us whisper".  What fun!, we are frozen in our positions, watching as the splashing lasts only a few seconds and then off he or she flies to the woods.  I sat there mesmerized by the different birds flying in for so long a few days ago that my leg went to sleep. We will certainly miss our little Thrush when he moves to his summer home . He has given us so much pleasure during this winter in our new yard. Blessings!
