Who goes there?

On a trek down to the trailcams, I spotted two Swainson's Thrush. I only managed to capture video of the one. They aren't singing the way they did in spring.

They will soon migrate. The bug eaters leave us as the bugs disappear. They eat berries and bugs, both of which are fast disappearing.


One landed on the water fountain, once-upon-a-time.

We've got hermit thrushes, as well.

We've still got robins. They may or may not migrate. One year we had a baker's dozen overwinter. It depends upon the severity of the winter.

About 20 seconds in, she hears something and momma stand up to see. It was so funny. You can see the eyes in the background. This is why they survive with coyotes in the forest. Their major threat is truly cars. They move across the highway in our large habitat.
