hermit thrush
Hermit Thrushes have a chunky shape similar to an American Robin, but they’re smaller. They stand upright on their long legs with their slender, straight bill slightly raised. Like other thrushes, the head is round and the tail fairly long. They are brown on the head and back, with a reddish tail and a thin pale white ring around the eye. The underparts are pale with spots on the throat and blurry spots on the breast. They love to hop and scrape in leaf litter while foraging. If you see one, they often perch low to the ground on fallen logs, low branches or bushes near forest clearings or trails.
