Hermit Thrush

In many Southern California gardens during the winter months, one can find a migratory bird that is considered by some to have the most beautiful song of all North American birds, the Hermit Thrush.  Secretive by nature, they are normally seen at the edge of hedges and brush lines as they leave cover to look for ground dwelling insects.  True to its nature, this Hermit Thrush cautiously checks-out the bath from below before coming up for a drink.
