The day ended up better weather wise than the TV news folks predicted. Rain is projected for the next several days so I needed to get the grass cut and do some other things in the yard. During a break I walked down to the pond behind the house as I could hear lots of warblers. A movement down low caught my attention however. At first I thought is was a Hermit Thrush but the bird looked different. The chest markings were not as pronounced as a Hermit Thrush's and the color was different.
Once back at the house I had to pull out the bird book and go back and look at some photos of a Hermit Thrush. I believe I have my first Veery! It may be just hoping and it end up being a very light colored Hermit Thrush.
