I do love living near a wooded area and my hemlocks nearby.<BR/><BR/>Hey Bernie. Birds are just plain fun!<BR/><BR/>Hi Shelly. Sweet moment.<BR/><BR/>Hey Wendy. I've learned about new birds that way too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Karen. I'm more familiar with them now. I'm excited that I've seen three of these brown songsters in my yard in different seasons, the Hermit thrush, a Swainson's thrush and the Wood thrush. I'm more alert for their differences, now.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-68654912326698581832009-01-18T09:13:00.000-05:002009-01-18T09:13:00.000-05:00Vickie glad to see you back.

The birds certainly were attracted to the water.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it was a treat, Dawn. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Hi, Jeff. Thanks for confirming the ID!

Actually, you...Hi Vickie--<BR/><BR/>Absolutely Hermit Thrush. Actually, you can pretty much do thrush id's by calendar, at least in winter. From about late October to early April, all spotted thrushes in the US are Hermit Thrushes, with an incredibly small number of exceptions.<BR/><BR/>But if you want to make absolutely certain that you've got a real Hermit, the contrastingly reddish tail, relatively extensive spotting, and pale eye ring (in combination) will knock the other thrushes out of the running.<BR/><BR/>Nice post--we have a Hermit Thrush or two that spend each winter with us, and they are among our most treasured residents.Jeff Gyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911475718198222447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-90502892468318741052009-01-16T19:50:00.000-05:002009-01-16T19:50:00.000-05:00What a treat that must have been!Stay warm...your ...What a treat that must have been!<BR/>Stay warm...your birdies are lucky to have you.Dawn Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320576787003821586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-10596224658529659252009-01-16T19:48:00.000-05:002009-01-16T19:48:00.000-05:00Very nice photos - even if taken through the windo...Very nice photos - even if taken through the window.
