I was amused to see it rapidly patting the ground with one foot, pause, and then move on a few inches and try again. Clearly it was hoping to disturb resting insects in the leaf litter. This foot-patting technique is often seen in sandpipers, but I think that this is the first time that I have seen it in a passerine. --- Peter Payzant --Boundary_(ID_/V2kMxKXn8u8KAzyROGRFg) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> <font size="-1"><font face="Arial">I was watching a Hermit Thrush at our place in Waverley today, as it was foraging in a weedy meadow-ish area.
