New Backyard Bird: the Hermit Thrush

Recently, I had an interesting bird in my backyard that I thought is worth mentioning. It was the Hermit Thrush and I had it return several times over the course of three days in October. I believe it was a migrant on its way south.

It do not think it was that unusual because I live near a park and running water, however my backyard did not provide any suitable food for this species or moving water. It was a nice new backyard bird, but I hope I get some more exciting ones during the winter.
