"02/08/11 - Hermit Thrush  My Blog:  http://maryanng.blogspot.com/2012/02/hermit-thrush.html  My daily post is a picture of a <a href=""http://www.wbu.com/chipperwoods/photos/hermthrush.htm"">Hermit Thrush</a>.  I've seen this type of  bird in my yard before during other winters, but in particular, I noticed that this bird showed up 3-4 days ago.  I got lucky tonight, and he/she sat in the food dish for a solid 10 minutes while I prepared dinner.  It was pretty easy to capture some shots although the light was low.  My favorite is the one I posted which unfortunately has good detail but I cropped off the tail.  I'll share this one as my second favorite. The detail is less sharp, but the pose and the whole bird being in the frame are a plus. That whitish line is a fence post way at the back of the yard  that I wish was missing from the shot too!  <a href=""http://fotomom.smugmug.com/Nature/February-2012/21295967_jprxmk#!i=1703034126&k=b7rx3rT"">SmugMug Link</a>  I took a really neat shot with a shadow today, and it's all I can do to wait to post it tomorrow for Paula's challenge!   Thanks for your comments on my blue and red glass shot from yesterday.  HAGD, Maryann"
