Marc, Just read your post. Do you have much experience with Hermit Thrushes?
Do they ever have real buffy chests (like a Swainson's or Gray-cheeked)?
Thanks, Dave

A pretty morning at Occoquan. The river was very quiet but the woods and fields were birdy. Highlights were a flyover American pipit, eastern meadowlark, fox sparrow, gray catbird, brown thrasher, common yellowthroat, hermit thrush, and savannah sparrows. The only water birds I could find were ruddy duck (150), wood duck (12), mallard (6), Canada goose, pied-billed grebe (65), American coot (1000), and dc cormorant (400). The cormorants were in one huge raft off of Deephole pt. I guess all the ducks are in Alexandria. Also of note were the numerous kinglets, of both species. They were present in all the parts of the refuge I visited.
