I stepped out on the back porch first thing this morning only to be greeted by a Hermit Thrush in our bird bath at Progreso Lakes. We get a few in the Rio Grande Valley most winters, usually out in the brush country, but they are not common. They are great fruit eaters and we have lots of fiddlewood and lantana berries so maybe it will stick around if the mockingbirds don't harrass it too much.
This Hermit Thrush was yard bird #231. There's lots of strange stuff wandering around the Valley lately so who knows what will be next?
