I saw this bird briefly and managed to capture it when it landed on the fence. For size reference, the top horizontal fence board is 2" (facing me). Identification help appreciated. Seen in Christmas Hill area, Saanich, 12 October around 11 am. Thank you. ImageHermit thrush? by S.C. (Susan) Harper, on Flickr

Hi Susan,

Your bird is indeed a Hermit Thrush!

This fall seems to be very good for Hermit Thrush, seeing them in good numbers!

Thank you! It is coming to my yard regularly to feast on my Leycesteria formosa, the Himalayan honeysuckle, berries. Also see on the ground. S. Harper, Saanich
