"In the swamp,
in secluded recesses,
A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song.
Solitary, the thrush,
The hermit, withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements,
Sings by himself a song.
- From When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom’d
by Walt Whitman
Our friend Betty Thompson is moving to Kansas but before she left she sent me two photos of a hermit thrush.
Safe trip Betty!
