I stopped by the Lab, after work today, hoping to catch the last of Mark's morning Thrushapalooza on the East trail. I was able to see two very shy HERMIT THRUSHES , my first of the year.
By the power line there were many WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS scratching in the leaves. One whistle sounded like a TOWHEE so I gave my best imitation back. A towhee immediately popped up right in front of me in the brush and began a auditory assault of real whistles that sent me fleeing for the quiet of the woods. On the walk back, by road, I heard what sounded like a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH near the Woodleton Boardwalk. Because of the traffic noise and my daydreaming I can't be sure it was one. Give a listen tomorrow if your nearby.
