Normally we will have seen many hermit thrushes by this time in the fall here in Hubbard County. This year none so far. This past April we had a prolonged ice storm and hermit thrushes were on the roadsides everywhere by the hundreds over several days. I think it likely that perhaps many tens of thousands or more may have perished in this part of Minnesota during that storm. Has anyone else noticed a dearth of hermit thrushes this fall, or earlier during breeding bird surveys?
