of them or views like I did of this one. So, when I saw in the Sibley Guide that there are subspecies, I stared at the photo... stared at the guide... and I'm not making much progress! On one level, it's completely unimportant, but I'm pretty curious now about
the subspecies out there - if anyone tries to make those distinctions in the field... which ones show up where... etc. etc. Long story short, if you know your Hermit Thrushes, have a peek, and shoot me an email! I do have another out of focus image that shows
the back and tail if that would help. </span></div>
