Wood thrush

I was sitting in the sun just now on the deck and this beauty came and sat on the deck railing.  I had to get up to come inside to get the camera but it stayed right where it was.  I could hear the mate somewhere at the edge of the woods.    I haven't seen them this close that I can remember!  I will be watching to see where they go as I am sure the nest is close by.

Thanks for all the congrats on my 200th.  Blippers are a great group of people and I am so thankful I found the Blipfoto site.   Looking forward to sharing many more photos!
