I can't get loose until Friday to go to Hastings. I would be grateful if anyone goes to see the thrush between now and then if they would post the results. I would dearly love to see this bird. Thanks.

After a half-hour stakeout, I was able to enjoy this lovely bird foraging in the crab-apple tree. Mark Younghans ( please excuse any misspelling) and I managed to view the bird from across the driveway within the yard. looking south at the crab-apple. The bird first flew from the east into the conifer beside the crab-apple, as though doing a safety check before eating in the open. It fed on the fruit, then dropped to the ground; hard to say if it was gleaning fallen fruit or looking for other food in the leaf litter.
