This hermit thrush was a welcome sight against the bare winter tree limbs.
If his eye shape and white ring looks familiar, it is because he is related to the eastern bluebird.

My friend had taught me the call of the hermit thrush because you way more often hear a hermit thrush than see one.
And so, I was watching black vultures when I heard, looked and then saw this lovely bird.
