Hi folks,
I had a Veery mixed in with a group of 8-10 American robins in my front yard. The mixed flock foraged primarily in the grass with a robin or two in the leafy edge of the woods. This was one of my better undisturbed views of a Veery foraging out of the woods or dense shrubs. Beautiful bird in the snow!
The Veery had a nice even-colored reddish-brown back. tail and nape; faint spotting in the upper 1/3 of breast; did not flick or wag its tail up-and-down (no reddish coloration like that of a Hermit thrush); and had a very faint, continuous eye ring (nothing jumped out about it).
The number of White-throated sparrows and juncos were more numerous today.
Good birding,
Norm Famous
