I too have been listening in vain for hermit thrushes this spring.  One was here throughout the winter (!), but it was killed on our rural road, presumably by a car.  Usually, there are several around, but not this year.

    I've noticed in previous years that Hermit Thrushes are more frequently
    seen/heard during springs where woodlands were damp and there was a normal

    Here in upper Somerset Co., we are enjoying about the same number as usual,
