I was rewarded this afternoon to find four Hermit Thrushes in the woods behind my house. They were stealth but very busy picking through the leaf litter. I first came upon two of them in one section of woods. I stopped and watched them for several minutes. They too were curious , coming to within 15 feet of me. I eventually broke the spell and carried on, only to come upon another pair in a different section of woods. A Yellow- bellied Sapsucker made an appearance and drummed in an otherwise quiet woods.
