Heading into the woods at Presque Isle State Park from last Sunday, @ Fox Trail, across the road from Presque Isle Lighthouse. Starting off with a great “first time 2024” sighting of lovely Brown Thrasher:
(Also lots of Brown Thrasher, relatively speaking – e.g., x4 – along the Gull Point Trail.)
Alternating with beautiful Hermit Thrush; note the rufous tail, slight eye-ring, and fairly heavy spotting:
Finishing up with a nice sequence of Hermit Thrush bathing @ rain/runoff pond in the woods:
Coming up eventually, Pileated Woodpecker, and lots of ’em!
Does the Team Leader like seeing birds bathing? hummm
The woodpecker is ready to bite him where it hurts!
As usual, lots of lovely shots!
