Those are great photos and very helpful for putting this discussion in
context for us more recreational birders.

This discussion reminded me of some photos I took November 15, 2020. I
prefer not to squeeze the bodies, lol. The birds do not like.
Hope these photos come through. I like to see how birds are put together,
feather shapes, colors. I keep thinking I will have time to draw and
paint...Nothing like drawing and painting to see and remember details.
Perhaps this series will help illustrate what Lars was saying, maybe not.
I have not seen any Hermit Thrushes in my garden this year, even though I
have not been squeezing them.
