    Debbie, Thank you for the description of the "chup" call.  We have had a
    Hermit Thrush in our yard for since Nov. 5.  It's about to completely
    strip our two toyons of the red berries.  I have heard the call several
    times and finally saw the hermit thrush while it was calling.  So now I
    should remember I hope.  The only other bird of interest wintering in
    our yard is a ruby crowned kinglet.  We also have a smattering of
    gold-crowned sparrows and one or two white-crowned.  No white-throated
    yet this year, although it seems to be a busy year for white-throated
    sparrows.  We live in northwest Walnut Creek, west of Hwy 680, south of
    Larkey Park.

    Late today, I was in the back yard with a friend when
    we heard a faint spirally song. There was a bird on
    the back fence which turned out to be a Hermit Thrush,
    performing a whisper song! After a minute it flew down
    to the side of us into some foliage. It gave a few
    "chup" calls from there.
