Yesterday, spell wandering through our Littleton farm, I noticed drive behind a row of shrubs. Standing my ground, I waited several minutes earlier the stranger emerged and, though he remained inward the shadows, I knew forthwith that he was a hermit thrush.
Summer residents across Canada together with southward through the mountains of North America, this hardy thrush is dull to migrate southward or to the coasts, feeding on berries ane time the insects disappear. Like his cousins, he prefers to feed on or nigh the ground, running into the encompass of shrubs or thickets if disturbed.
While nigh hermit thrushes terminate upwards wintering across the southern USA or along the coasts, simply about linger inward colder regions if adequate nutrient is available. Yesterday's visitor was the starting fourth dimension I convey seen on our farm and, if nosotros convey simply about other mild winter, he may simply remain for the season.
