My favorite winter bird arrived today! A Hermit Thrush. (what does it say about my personality that I love this spotty-brown bird?)

After searching all morning, including a hike that was tough for someone with walking and balance problems, we found a lyrebird just next to a paved walkway just near the main lodge. Just four or so feet from me.
