Hello,
Here is an Hermit Trush photographied at the Umstead National Park during fall... During a business trip II took a day off to go hiking at this wonderful park in North Carolina... It was november and the temperature was exceptionnally high (79 Fahrenheit).
Alone in the forest, the only sound heard was the sound of the leaves falling gently on the ground... Suddenly this lovely Hermit Trush kept my attention... Time stopped while we were looking at each other... I love those moments where the bird is so confident to my presence... This confidence came from the fact that the Trush was cleaning himself even if I was at, maybe, 15 feet from him...
This forest was then the home of only 2 living beings: Me and this splendid Hermit Trush... I feel then very privilegied...
Thanks for commenting my picture :-)
