Here’s a soon-to-be-returning forest bird, the 🪶Hermit Thrush. It spends its winter in the southern U.S. and Mexico and comes up to breed in the northern U.S and Canada. If you’ve never heard one sing, do yourself a favor and look it up for a listen.

The 🪶White-breasted Nuthatch’s is a year round resident in Vermont and a frequent flier to the feeders for sunflower seeds. It’s a sweet little grey bird capable of cheering your mood on any #GreyDay.

Back in 2020, this 🪶Common Ringed Plover somehow found its way across the pond and into Vermont to delight the birders who were diligent and patient enough to pick it out amongst all the migrating Semipalmated Plovers.

My #BestOfTheMonth was certainly the treat of having this sleepy🪶Barred Owl take up residence in my yard for 3 days, which had the added benefit of keeping the squirrels at bay. #BirdOfTheDay
