CLOSED: What is this bird?

Palo Alto, CA ... taking a bath.

Hi Jubilada,
I'm not great with Thrushes, but this interesting article on All About Birds says that the only Thrush in the U.S. and Canada during the winter is the Hermit Thrush. If you shot this pic recently I'm guessing that's what it is.

Resin will know for sure if he sees your post. Right now the forums aren't showing when they have new threads or posts...one of the glitches that I'm sure will eventually be fixed.

Hi nutsaboutnature ... I believe you are correct. I did a little research on my own, and that's what it seems to be. Thanks for the info!

The reddish tail pegs it as a hermit thrush

Yep, a bit late to add, but agree with Hermit Thrush
