Wood Thrush

[David Hill]

It is only through the generosity of Cynthia Madsen that we got to observe this Wood Thrush. She graciously opened her home to the family of Colorado birders so eager to view this rarity and I am both thrilled and thankful to have been a part of that company. This morning I shared a seat in Cynthia's dining area with Cynthia, Dave Prentice and Kenna Sue Trickey. I twice observed this bird drinking from Cynthia's running waterfall feature, just 15 feet from her kitchen patio doors. At 9:06 AM the Wood Thrush arrived and perched at the edge of the waterfall. It drank for just one minute and departed to the north. It returned at 9:58 for a additional drink and departed 2 minutes later.
