This afternoon a Hermit Thrush flew into the yard. I snapped some photos to compare with the Ovenbird that appeared this morning:
At a glance their markings are similar, but the Ovenbird has an orange crown, olive back, brighter white belly and darker streaks. The Hermit Thrush has a brown back and reddish-brown tail. Both birds have white eye rings.
The Hermit Thrush spent quite a bit of time successfully searching the grass for insects.
Unlike Ovenbirds, Hermit Thrushes are increasing in population.
