And a perfect analysis!<br /><br />Re: Hermit Thrush - you know, I was going to suggest your bird was that variety, but I mistakenly thought they only resided in the deep forests and not anywhere near human habitats. I'd say you're one of the lucky, chosen few to have one outside our window! Really marvelous.<br /><br />"Where non-linear thinking falters is in finally carrying out the required action, because as a thought process it often encourages a user to agonize incessantly over where to start (that agreed upon truth, from which logic can be applied and action can be taken)."<br /><br />Oh, too (agonizingly) true!
