Last week we had a Hermit Thrush on our deck here in Seahurst, WA. It was picking at pyracantha berry clusters we had picked and adorned a cut hemlock we put up as an outdoor Christmas tree "for the birds".

Hunn shows HETH in Birding in Seattle and King County as a rare winter migrant to the Puget Sound lowlands. I guess we're both lucky!
