The wood thrush was in the yard again this morning. I looked out hoping to find it and there it was heading up the walk toward me, about 4 feet from the porch. :-) This is the first one I've seen in our yard (except for two pitiful little corpses that a neighbor's cat killed once, 7 or 8 years ago). It was very alert; almost as soon as I looked out the window it spotted me and left. Still I got a very good look at it.
