While rehairing violin bows at my workbench this afternoon, I heard
the soft chattering of a Carolina Wren as it flew up under the eaves
and began to hunt for insects and spiders. This is a pretty common
occurrence at my shop, so I didn't bother craning my neck for a view,
but a few minutes later when a bird flew out to a nearby brushpile in
direct view from my bench, I picked up the bins and took a look,
expecting to see the wren. The bird in the brushpile was a Swainson's
Thrush. I watched it for several minutes through bins, and then a
second bird flew into the same field of view. In the tiny fraction of
a second required to foveate the new arrival, I anticipated another
thrush, but the bird was a Carolina Wren.
