[Maine-birds] Hermit Thrush - Gardiner

David's report below reminds me that Jeff saw a Hermit Thrush in our yard in Gardiner on Saturday. No sign of it later that day or since.

 

A single Pine Siskin among a couple dozen Common Redpolls, and another visit from the Red-bellied Woodpecker we've been seeing off and on through the winter.

We have had a Hermit Thrush with us regularly for the past few months.  I was afraid we had lost this bird when the weather turned cold but it appears to be doing fine.  It is subsisting at least in part on our crabapples (what few were left by a marauding band of Robins) and spending nights in a dense Alberta Spruce nearby.  Even without leaves in our two crabapple trees, it is surprisingly difficult to spot this bird as it sits quietly for long periods.  Seen again minutes ago.
