A great image, Craig, of a species that perhaps is heard, more than it is photographed. Excellent feather detail shown, plus the lighting is just perfect as well.

A wonderful setting with the complementary background, Craig. And the Wood Thrush looks super!

+1.  I don't often see them on the ground.  This one works very well.

Cool pose you have captured. Background yields a nice colour palette to the image. Odd looking hair line on the breast?

Thanks for the props; re: the "hair" - I have absolutely no idea; I discovered it in PP - it does look like a hair, but I don't know.

They are not easy to photograph. Lovely capture. I absolutely love their song.
