Our HERMIT THRUSH has been a regular visitor to the water garden. Three
times yesterday and so far once today. Not sure what his fascination with it
is but he often just stands there staring at it. I can spot him from right
here at the computer. This is an odd bird for us. There are some grown white
pines next to the pond, but I wouldn't call it prime Hermit habitat. He's
probably attracted to the sound of the running water (ours has 3 water falls
in it). As I was telling June yesterday, this thing has not been the bird
magnet we had hoped it would be but when something like this takes notice of
it, the investment pays off.
