Had an unusually late for us night last night (we don't get out much!). Lying in bed this morning, birding by ear (ie. yep, I know that call, I'm having another 5 minutes! No Mr.Ovenbird, I don't care how noisy you are, you'll still be there in another hour). Then heard a Wood Thrush. Out of bed, grabbed bins and went a looking. Eventually found it about 500m from home, singing his heart out. I have a fair few mosquito bites from birding in pyjamas, but very pleased to see him!
Wood Thrush are not uncommon in these parts, but I suppose they count as my nemesis thrush. I've seen Swainson's more often, which are far less likely. Anyway that takes the all-time garden thrush list to 4, or 5 I suppose with American Robin too. Very nice!
Bonus, got home in pyjamas before the school bus drove past!
72. Wood Thrush
ETA: Closely followed by 73. Scarlet Tanager. Usually see at least one a year locally, this one just outside garden, but singing loudly.
