Hi all  we still have our Wood Thrush  here at Queenstown . It  would not be Summer  if  I did not hear the song of the Wood Thrush .  Yesterday Sunday  6 - 13  the thrushes came to the edge of My yard  feeding on the ground  .  When one of the Birds  puffed its chest out   put it head  straught up  and  jumped  up a couple of times . The Other Wood Thrush   next to it moved off a very short distance  with the  first one    hopping over  to it  keeping its chest puffed out repeating  this behavior . This action repeated a couple of more times  before they flew off into the woods.  It did not seem to an  territory  dispute just some sort of display  between a mated pair . I had never seen it before . I  checked in my books at home and saw no mention of this behavior . If anyone knows or has any  idea or thoughts  on  that display I would be interested in hearing them .  It never gets old watching closely  what birds do .

 

 

Happy Birding
