Hermit Thrush at Thomas Point

The weather continued its calm and warmish trend today. I repeated the recent routine;Jonas Green early, then Thomas Point.
There wasn’t much in the way of new birds, despite some nice sightings by others.
I got a few nicely lit shots, and the thrush was a change of pace.
