Hermit thrushes do linger and can still be present into early winter. Then in spring they "arrive" quite early (March?), so perhaps some can indeed overwinter rarely. Were your "trilling calls" actually series of notes or just intermittent single notes -- if the latter, probably n. spring peepers, which habitually call during fall months and even during winter thaws sometimes -- I know there are records for calling peepers in February (I myself heard one during a rainy thaw at night), and I think now there are even a few January records, too? Usually their autumn peeping comes from dry land and not from the water. I don't know of any records of toads calling in autumn. Cheers from Jim ---------- From: "Nickerson, Nancy" <NickersonN@AGR.GC.CA> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:16:18 -0500 To: jimwolford@eastlink.ca Subject: Palmeter Woods observations Hi Jim: On Saturday morning I had a close encounter with a pair of hermit thrushes in shrubs beside one of the trails. Do hermit thrushes ever spend the winter in our area? On Sunday morning there was an intermittent trilling call coming from ground level in a flooded alder swamp. A toad, maybe?
