Hi:
It is not unusual for us to see Hermit Thrush & Veery in the woodland behin=
d our residence in Kingston: however=2C we hear them more often that see th=
em.
This year=2C for the first time=2C we have=2C on 4 occasions seen a Hermit =
Thrush under our BO Sunflower Seed and Nyger Feeders.
More often=2C they seem only to investigate=2C not consume the seeds on the=
ground=3B perhaps sample the Nyger and depart. More interesting is that=2C=
they do not fly in=2C but appear walking out of the woodland=2C then acros=
s about 20 metres of poor lawn to either sample or not consume seeds. The =
Juncos=2C Goldfinches=2C Song and White-throated Sparrows that may be prese=
nt seem to be indifferent to the Hermit Thrushes arrival. The Thrushes lose=
interest after a few minutes and depart flying in the direction of the woo=
dland or walk a short distance into the cedar hedge that seperates our land=
from the neighbours.
Perhaps it is a social visit=2C not a feeding excursion.=20
The smaller species do not seem intimidated by these unusual and irreqular =
visitors.
Cheers=2C Barbara and Pat =
