Their song "Sister" is a favorite of many, and State Radio (Chad's band after Dispatch) covered it once.
Also Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) is a medium-sized North American thrush. It is not very closely related to the other North American migrant species of Catharus, but rather to the Mexican Russet Nightingale-thrush.
Description
This species is 15–17 cm in length, and has the white-dark-white underwing pattern characteristic of Catharus thrushes. Adults are mainly brown on the upperparts, with reddish tails. The underparts are white with dark spots on the breast and grey or brownish flanks. They have pink legs and a white eye ring. Birds in the east are more olive-brown on the upperparts; western birds are more grey-brown.
Behavior
Their breeding habitat is coniferous or mixed woods across Canada, Alaska and the northeastern and western United States. They make a cup nest on the ground or relatively low in a tree.
Hermit Thrushes migrate to wintering grounds in the southern United States and south to Central America. Although they usually only breed in forests, Hermit Thrushes will sometimes winter in parks and wooded suburban neighborhoods. They are very rare vagrants to western Europe.
They forage on the forest floor, also in trees or shrubs, mainly eating insects and berries.
Song
Hermit Thrush's song is ethereal and flute-like, constructed from a descending musical phrase repeated at different pitches. They often sing from a high open location.

Great video. A Hermit Thrush has been hanging out at my birdbath for the last week. I hope it feeds at my suet feeder. It was on my feeder top today, but not eating. Do you feed it anything specific?
