Yesterday was a creepy day with Brown creepers creeping on every tree. Today it was a case of thrush. Hermit thrush may be a misnomer. These birds were not hermits. At one point there were four of them hanging around together like a posse. I counted nine thrushes. I was worried that I might step on one of them. Instead, I stepped into the loop of a vine, got caught and fell on the soft dead yellow grass. Not my best move, but I can roll like a wrestler while protecting my lens and capturing a few pics on the way down. Have to make it look intentional you know. I've got a reputation to manage. BTW, there were still a lot of creeper around this morning. Also came across the towhee again. With all the dog walkers and family groups any sighting would be spooked before getting a photo. Still no further sign of Pine warblers, not even way up on top of conifers.

The next shot would have been a gastrointestinal view but this forum isn't ready for that sort of thing.
