scsh Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 This small bird hopped into the bird feeding area this morning. I didn't recognize the markings. Size of a spotted Towhee [which it's not], or a bit smaller. Bigger as some immature Sparrow species which are foraging here. Rural backyard.

Charlie Spencer Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hi. It's definitely a thrush, which is a member of the same family as bluebirds and robins. I'm pretty sure it's a Hermit Thrush. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsh Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Thank you. I agree with you both for Hermit Thrush. Maybe that is why it looks so much like a juvenile robin. My first thought was this is a miniature robin ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
