Hermit Thrush

Hello everyone, happy Monday!

Happy Labor Day to all in the USA and in Canada.






I had some good views of this bird, I believe is the Hermit Thrush.  This bird was seen at the Hillsborough River State Park in Florida back in February 2017. It is listed as a winter bird in Florida, so I guess my guess could be right.



The Hermit Thrush has a complete eye ring. Their underparts are pale with distinct spots on the throat and smudged spot on the breast..



They has a red tail, my photos do not show the tail feathers.


The Hermit Thrush can be found in our local forest but recently I have been enjoying all the mushrooms and fungi. For more Nature Note  images I wanted to share these mushrooms and fungi I am seeing along our fire roads. It is amazing to see all the various fungi and mushrooms, the different colors and shapes are pretty. I am not sure of their names or if they are edible, hubby and I just enjoy seeing them.







I beleive the fungi below are called Cortinarius Iodeoides, what a name. Maybe there is a more common name for them?

















I hope you enjoyed my photos and post.
As always I thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.

My list of memes for today, I hope to see you there. Thanks to both of the host below.
