Description
The Sierra Hermit Thrush is a bird of the mountains, living and nesting habitually above 5000 feet. It frequents thick, damp woods and loves the company of rushing mountain streams. There are several species of hermit thrushes found in the northwestern part of the continent, but this is the only one that is common in Oregon in summer. The Sierra hermit thrush is considered the finest songster of all the Pacific coast birds. It has a more reddish cast to its plumage than the russet-backed thrush.
