I did some birding along Siuslaw River Road this evening. A little after
8:00, I decided to head for home. Between 43.87272, -123.43575 and the
intersection of Siuslaw River Road with Wolf Creek Road, I drove slowly
with my windows open "just in case." Unexpectedly, I heard a Hermit Thrush
in this area. There was no good place to stop. I was probably about 1/3 to
1/2 of the way to Wolf Creek Road from my last stop, with the above
coordinates. The thrush was a little way into the woods on the left side of
the road, where there were some fairly dense small to medium-sized trees.
This song is very familiar to me, having spent hours as a child sitting
outside in the evening and working at differentiating the songs of Hermit
Thrush, Wood Thrush, and Brown Thrasher. What a treat to hear it in
several different locations in less than a week!
