Next we have the Hermit Thrush, the Vermont state bird. Their flutelike song is a familiar sound in the woods but the Hermit thrush is shy and tends to prefer brushy undergrowth. This was one of two that I saw. Are they staying or just passing through?
Finally is the Black-capped Chickadee. Always delight to have as a companion in the woods.

Hi Steve,
And you got three perfect pictures of them... I hope I will be able to add the two first ones on my birdie list one day ;-) I really love the black-cap chickadee picture, the light is perfect on it as well as the attitude. So the breeders have arrived around your area!
Bonjour,
Joli blog , une belle découverte .
Bonne journée.
I love the songs of the Thrushes!! Great birds and great photos Steve.
Good to see you have some migrants back locally. Cracking shots Steve.
Thats a great Chickadee shot Steve.
Nice shots of all three - glad the thrush came out into view (really like those birds!). Excellent close-up of the chickadee :)
Gorgeous hermit thrush - love the photo
