[Hummer]

The fall bird migration is well underway. This Hermit Thrush was catching bugs in the yard. Closely related to robins but a little smaller, it is recognizable by its bold triangular spots in the front and the bright rust colored tail and rump. It breeds in the higher mountain forests and is known for singing one of the most beautiful bird songs.

Listen to the first two songs on this web page and you should be able to recognize it when you hear it in the woods: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/..._Thrush/sounds
