Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hermit Thrush

Ha ha. Weren't you lucky! Well, we used to have an Oven Bird that moved through checking out our wood chip path where it found things to eat. If we all leave leaf litter around the edges of our properties they will find it worth their while to stop by. Regi West Hill in the city "Love the
