[cayugabirds-l] Solitary Sandpiper, Hermit Thrush leg quivering
A solitary Solitary Sandpiper was foraging in the shallows of our pond in Brooktondale this morning, with a snowy backdrop. Louisiana Waterthrush singing at Shindagin Hollow, as well as a Winter Wren. A Hermit Thrush was in the road with many American Robins, and then moved to the leaf litter, where it foraged for a long time, repeatedly quivering a leg, then pouncing on something to eat (couldn't see what). Apparently this behavior (new to me) is widely known, and thought to be a way of flushing out prey (or possibly even bringing worms up, though didn't seem like the latter today).
