“…like a warbling flute, rippling through the forest air along a strand of silk tied directly to the center of my heart.” This is by far the most beautiful expression (of joy, of love, of a receptive heart) I’ve read in quite some time! So delighted knowing these are your words, Sydney.
Thanks so much, Gary, and thank you for the coffees! So greatly appreciated :) It's truly a gorgeous feeling to have a Hermit Thrush tugging at your heartstrings.
Sharing this lovely woodland description, complete with the hermit thrush’s extremely faint “whisper song” only sung in spring, is a gift to is all. Thank you. Will you be raking more moss in a forest glen? Feathered friends may like to know.
Beautifully told story 1st story of your Hermit Hill. I do hope there will be more! Hermit Thrushes are a favorite of mine, too! We are lucky to have them year around here in the Olympics. I look forward to their evening singing high in the firs just as the sun is going down.
Thanks so much, Princess Thunderbutt🤣 Also, how fun - I always try to address people by name in my comments and replies, and your profile name definitely stopped me short and made me laugh out loud!
My favorite song too! And you described it so perfectly. “It’s like a warbling flute, rippling through the forest air along a strand of silk tied directly to the center of my heart.” ❤️❤️❤️

A lovely visit and story about your little Hermit Thrush.
Thank you, Kathleen, so glad you enjoyed meeting him!

Thanks so much, Rob! I would rate the chances of future moss-raking as high to very high 🤣
Love this so much! These Thrushes are usually so shy, one is lucky to catch a glimpse.
Thank you, Lindsay! It was such a treat to have him tolerate us while he went about his day 💕
Sounds like the perfect way to spend time in the forest. Love the song of the little Hermit Thrush. Thank you this was so enjoyable. 💚
Definitely, an encounter with a Hermit Thrush is hard to top! So glad you enjoyed meeting him :)
I love idea that if we really pay attention that these dear birds can "unlock" us.
Thank you, Corie!
Thank you for a lovely moment of respite in the woods this morning. Finns say "kuuntele metsaa" = "listen to the forest" Beautiful post.
"listen to the forest" - what a beautiful expression, Mary, thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much, Sandy! What a song. I often step outside in the evening just to hear it floating across the treetops 💕
Really beautiful. Thank you so much for this post.

What a beguiling little bird! I hope I'll have a chance to hear them in the wild; I may up in the Rockies.
Oooh, good luck, Noel, I hope you do!
Loved the clip, Sydney! I have never seen Hermit Thrushes do that before. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, Neil, isn't that fun? :)
My favorite song too! And you described it so perfectly. “It’s like a warbling flute, rippling through the forest air along a strand of silk tied directly to the center of my heart.” ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Kimberly!
Exquisite. A story of family, hard work and beautiful, gentle rewards. Thanks so much.
Thanks you, Beth, hugs!
