Hermit Thrush - Palisade - Mesa County

[Mike Henwood]

Eilleen Cunningham and I had good looks at a Hermit Thrush in a Russian Olive thicket at the Tillman Bishop SWA on East Orchard Mesa across the Colorado River from the Riverside Park in Palisade.  Although a common breeder, they are not often seen in the winter on the West Slope.

Also, Kathleen McGinley reports that the Black Phoebe is still at the Redlands Parkway Ponds in Grand Junction as of Th., Dec. 10.
