We have seen a Hermit Thrush around  our yard a few times this fall  and 
winter, but the last couple of days have been interesting.  We had some  
apples that got too old and we put them out to see if anything would  partake.  
Yesterday I caught movement at one, got my binos and there was  the thrush, 
really chowing down.  It stayed there a long time,  eating.  Today it was 
back, this time it was eating suet on the ground  beneath the feeder.  It also 
appeared to eat some millet seed.  Seems  as if foraging might not be usual 
after all the cold weather this year.
