Winter Thrush

Justine and I walked around Toftrees late this morning and managed to see a total of about sixteen species, despite the frigid, bone-chilling temperatures.  The highlight of the morning was a Hermit Thrush that popped up to protest Justine’s excellent screech-owl imitation.

Even the sparrows have cleared out from Toftrees; only a few White-throated Sparrows remained to scrounge the bushes for food.
