There have been 1 or 2 hermit thrush in my backyard for the last 4 days.  So 
beautiful!  They hang around for large portions of the day. They are feeding on 
the dropped thistle seed on the ground, drinking from the bird bath, taking 
shelter in one of the bushes.  Today, one was eating from the suet feeder and 
resting on the squirrel baffle.  Beautiful eye ring, spotted breast, and a not 
too darkish rusty tail.   Though I have heard the "screeech" call of the thrush 
in the neighborhood earlier in the winter, I had not actually seen them in the 
backyard during the winter months.
