Tuesday's Teaser is a Hermit Thrush. A little tricky because you can't see the whole bird.
Interesting to compare him to last week's mystery bird, the Brown Thrasher.
This bird participated in the NJMC's banding project earlier this spring.
We have included a photo of its beautiful rufous tail as a clue.
This bird may well have been Thoreau's favorite, although some think Henry D. was referring to this bird's cousin when he wrote: "Whenever a man hears it he is young, and Nature is in her spring; wherever he hears it, it is a new world and a free country, and the gates of Heaven are not shut against him."
