Harold

Yup, I named him/her, Harold the Hermit Thrush … I hope it’s a him, and I’m not sure if it is the same bird that I’ve been seeing the last few days. Whenever I find a group of birds feeding, I can usually find a hermit thrush feeding on berries beneath the other birds. I’m not sure why, but the hermit thrush has become one of my favorites.

Don’t worry, this is the only bird that I have named (not that there’s anything wrong with naming birds )

No theres definately nothing wrong in giving a bird a name!!!!! ( Chip and pin come to mind?)
Excellent shots Copy, and what a gorgeous bird, #2 & #3 stand out to me, love that over the shoulder pose.

Thank you Bev, I think every hermit thrush I see now will be named Harold, lol (I can't tell them apart).

Thrushes are aways great to photograph...... when they let you

Nice job, Copy. You're posting processing and photographic skills are definitely coming on-line. I especially like #2. Nice job not having intersecting foreground/background lines in that one.

You're right Paulnj, they are very unpredictable birds.

And thank you Loupey.
