| Hermit Thrush & Privet Tree - Marin County 2012 |
The Cornell site says that the hermit thrush "forages on the forest floor by rummaging through leaf litter or seizing insects with its bill." However, the modern-day hermit thrushes in Marin County have gotten a new angle on things by doing a kind of hummingibird-like wing flutter and grabbing as many privet berries as they can.
Here's one in the rain . . . eyeballing the berries on the privet tree. Could it be that he's the only one to have discovered this trick? Unlikely.
