At the end of my hike with dog this misty, chilly morning, I spotted a Hermit Thrush. A little late to migrate away—or perhaps it was mid-migration—but it happened to be the third thrush of the day. First were small flocks of robins (no doubt migrating), and also a little batch of bluebirds (possibly migrating, possibly sticking around).

I do love thrushes. They might be my favorite kinds of birds. (Maybe.)
