One of my favorite birds is the Hermit Thrush because of their beautiful, trilling songs. Michael Reinhart recently photographed one singing.

There are two Hermit Thrushes singing to each other near our place in Anchor Bay. They begin singing even before sunrise. To hear their lovely call, here is a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Hermit_Thrush/sounds

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Billowy, white fog appeared overnight over the Pacific Ocean and immediate coastline, though it held off for many to see the beautiful Northern Lights, a rare occurrence here. I will share photos of that soon. There is another chance to see it a little after sunset tonight here on the Mendonoma Coast...if the fog doesn't roll back in!

Ron Bolander was at the right place - right outside his home - when he spotted this Hermit Thrush. And the little thrush was headed straight for a ripe berry with his or her beak wide open.

What great timing by Ron to catch this Hermit Thrush stepping forward for a meal!

Hermit Thrushes have a beautiful song. I always listen for the first trills early in the morning as we get closer to spring. You can hear the song at this link at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Hermit_Thrush/sounds

It rained hard Sunday morning but it cleared up for the afternoon. It was then sunny and cool. Clouds began piling in in the late afternoon as more rain is headed our way!

June Wilson had a Hermit Thrush visit her place at The Sea Ranch for a while. She took this photo of the songbird.

Hermit Thrushes often can be seen foraging on the ground for insects or berries.
