I'd give the prize to Hermit Thrush, but really, Melanie, your self-description suggests that instead of the morning you should arrange to be out in suitable habitat in the _evening_, from an hour before sunset until an hour after, and you will likely be treated to all three of our locally breeding thrushes.
Hermits will also sing as the sky darkens before a rainstorm. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
