Chuck Henrikson’s Birding Report From UW–Madison Arboretum

"There are some new arrivals. This past week besides seeing more White-throated Sparrows and a couple more Lincoln Sparrows I did see some White-crowned Sparrows out on the prairie and on the trail in the woods adjacent to the prairie. Another new arrival is the Hermit Thrush. The Hermit Thrush is brown above with a distinctive rusty colored tail. It always appears full-bodied so must eat well. The breast has dark spots high and the spots become less distinct and smudgy farther down. One of its unique behaviors is that it raises its tail occasionally as if it were waving to you. It spends most of its time on the ground searching for food." Read Chuck's Weekly Birding Report #29.
