I spotted a Hermit Thrush yesterday, enjoying his own Christmas tree. Bulbs and all. Wild rose hip decorations. I would be more accurate to say he spotted me first and his eyes locked on mine for 20 seconds or so, then he flew off into the dense brush up on the ridge. The Thrush was in a perfect Christmas pose but it was accidental. The Hermit Thrush normally feeds on insects but in the winter they add fruit to their diet. Perhaps the rose hips were a noon snack, which I so rudely interrupted.
