Hi, today about noon I saw a thrush hopping around outside the
kitchen window and at first assumed it was a hermit, the only thrush
I would expect at this time of year. But it was cooperative enough
that I realized it had a red head (I was looking down on it) and the
tail was not. A better look from another window revealed a spotted
breast confirming that it was a Wood Thrush. I would think this would
be a very late date for anywhere in MI, let alone here the north and
on a day of significant snow inland, I live in Benzie Co. close
enough to Lake Mi that we did not get snow, only a little sleet. I
have a photo but it is not posted anywhere.
I any of you know of late dates for Wood Thrush for MI I would be
interested. Carl Freeman
