Spotted
The Hermit Thrush is a widespread North American thrush easily recognized by its distinctive reddish-brown tail contrasting with a browner body, and a prominent eye-ring. Its ethereal, fluty song is highly cherished.
Where to spot
Breeds in coniferous and mixed forests across North America, from Alaska to the eastern US. Winters across the southern US and Mexico.
How to spot
Look on the forest floor or low branches, often in shaded areas. Its habit of flicking its tail up and down is a good behavioral clue. Listen intently for its iconic, multi-phrased, musical song.
When to spot
Year-round in some southern parts, migratory elsewhere. Best observed in spring and fall migration, or during summer breeding season. Active at dawn and dusk.
