OK, this will be my Hermit Thrush account for a while. They don’t nest in my urban yard, just passing through…

#BirdRestStop I think migration is underway.

She sits for a nice close-up under the plants the goes left. #Birds

Such a beautiful Yellow Rumped Warbler, this one arrived at my urban habitat a couple of days ago. He probably will be on his way to a forest soon. #Birds

evening baths for all the golden crown sparrows in the yard I believe there are at least five or six. I bet they’re migrating tonight. #Birds

good morning! this bird has been hanging out at this birdbath since 6 AM. It probably arrived overnight. I think it’s a Lincoln sparrow.🪶#BirdRestStop

I believe a mixed flock of warblers just arrived today this warbler on the right looks like an immature or a female Hermit Warbler, see the yellow face? #BirdRestStop

Swainson’s Thrush this morning. This could be a different one could be the same one. They usually stay three days at the most. #BirdRestStop

Swainson’s Thrush made it! She is being really shy. My favorite bird. My favorite bird song. #BirdRestStop

another of the Goldfinches that arrived over night. #Birds

Do you have habitat for birds?
you too can create a #BirdRestStop for migrating birds they are attracted to the sound of running water-got a fountain?

here is Wilson’s warbler again this morning some only stay a day and one time a pair stayed almost a week. 🪶#BirdRestStop

this one looks more mature about 15 minutes later. This bird is trying to bathe at the wildlife pond. #Birds

I’m so fortunate I can have a #BirdRestStop for our migrants. Western Tanager stopped for a bath around 10 a.m. today. They will probably stay for the day, refuel, and leave tonight. #Birds

This looks like a golden Crowned sparrow. I haven’t seen one and what feels like ages. He should be up in the tundra right now. #BirdRestStop

A gathering of Yellow Rumped Warblers today.
My yard is a #BirdRestStop for migratory #birds 🪶

late arriving Golden Crowned sparrow #BirdRestStop
he found a mini pond. He arrived overnight with some white crowned sparrows, but this is an afternoon bath. 🪶

Another Swainson’s Thrush passing through. I have two cameras on this birdbath since I only have two birdbaths right now because these cameras miss half the Birds this is one of the two cameras that picked her up.

Notice the large pronounced buff-colored eyering…

Here is Pacific Wren today. I think of them as hermit-wren they’re really shy and you don’t see them very often. I think they live in more forested areas not my urban habitat.
#Migration #BirdRestStop

She’s at protective birdbath she looks unsure. She comes and goes three times
September 7, 2025 at 1:49 AM
I bet she leaves tonight. She has to go breed in a dense forest.
#BirdRestStop
I hope my habitat gave her the food and reprise she needed to continue on the last leg of her intercontinental journey.
Swainson’s Thrush
May 23, 2025 at 1:10 AM
Wait I thought you left? Wilson’s Warbler…maybe a different migrant?
#BirdRestStop
At a copper bowl on the ground. He is there for a few seconds, green plants in the background, a wood strawberry plant in the foreground.
May 17, 2025 at 8:16 PM
This looks like hermit thrush!
Or maybe it is Fox sparrow but the color seems more Thrush.
If so it’s my first Thrush of fall migration.
