Not sure what happened to my post from yesterday morning...it seems to have dropped off this board entirely. In any case, I took this photo on Friday at Island 22. Unfortunately I forgot to change some settings on my camera, so ended up with w-a-y too slow a shutter speed. Its front was quite light with only very slight markings on the throat, breast and sides. I think the eye rim looks more prominant in the photo due to the slow shutter speed. Seemed the right size for a thrush, but which one? as always, your help is most appreciated.

Terri: The complete eye ring, and rufous/reddish tail strongly suggest Hermit Thrush. Nice bird. Thor

Thanks Thor. I was secretly hoping that's what it was, as it means a new addition to my lifelist.
