Thanks Liam, I will move it to my Hermit Thrush spotting. I was wondering why it was so much smaller!
Great photos, btw!
Your first photo shows a Hermit Thrush, Catharus guttatus. Note the difference in eye color, tail length, and bill length and color.
Thanks! This is at a photo blind at the State Park near by, and I always have to be there for awhile before these guys come out, I like them. The first photo was a pretty small one, smallest I had ever seen at least!
Nice spotting. Not hiding like they like to do. :)
