  State Birds - Hermit Thrush - Vermont
The flight of the Hermit Thrush is performed low over the ground, and in a gliding manner, as the bird shifts from one place to another at a short distance.
All the nests of the Hermit Thrush which I have found were in every instance placed lower on the branches of trees than those of the Wood Thrush, seldom above seven or eight feet from the ground, and sometimes so low that I could easily look into them.
Tail rather short, even, of twelve broad feathers, the shafts of which project a little beyond the extremity of the webs, as is the case with the outer primaries.

  Little Hermit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little Hermit (Phaethornis longuemareus) is a hummingbird that is a resident breeder from Mexico to Panama, and from eastern Peru through Colombia to Venezuela and Trinidad.
This hermit species is sometimes split, with all populations except those in Trinidad, the east of Venezuela, the Guianas and northeast corner of Brazil as the Stripe-throated Hermit, Phaethornis striigularis (Gould, 1854).
The Little Hermit is mainly bronze-green above with a pale rufous rump.

 Little Eaton and Coxbench - two Derbyshire villages
Little Eaton, meaning Little Town by the Water, is situated 3 and a half miles North East of Derby on the old Alfreton to Derby road.
A well known and popular character was Alice Grace, the 'Little Eaton Hermit' who on being evicted from her cottage lived in sheds, barns and disused buildings, until finally residing in her famous box homes at the pinfold on 'Th Back o' the Winns' in Coxbench Wood.
Little Eaton is surrounded by moors and woodland which offer attractive views over the Derwent Vale, inspiring at least one local artist, James Preston to recapture it in oils and water colour.

 Hermit (hummingbird) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hermits in the main genus, Phaethornis, have a long decurved bill with a red or yellow base to the lower mandible, and their two central tail feathers are elongated and tipped with white.
Hermits usually form leks and congregate on traditional display grounds, where females visit to choose a mate.
Many species, including the Rufous-breasted Hermit, also use the plant for nesting, attaching their conical nest to the underside of one of the plant’s broad leaves.

 Hermit Thrush
Hermit Thrushes have the habit of quickly raising and then slowly lowering their tails upon landing; this behavior is often accompanied by a tchup call.
The ethereal flute-like song of the Hermit Thrush, heard rarely in winter and not at all during migration, is sung from the tops of trees or standing dead snags by males beginning as much as an hour before sunrise, and ending 30 or 40 minutes after sunset.
Hermit Thrushes are distinguished from Wood Thrushes and Veeries by the location of the reddish coloration at the tail, rather than head (as on the Wood Thrush), or the upperparts generally (as on the Veery).

Natty was a gentle, harmless, improvident little man, who [62] would never do any hard word for pay,—it gave him cricks in his back, he said,—but would cheerfully half kill himself to go fishing through the ice, or to oblige a neighbor.
Mother and chicks have a contented little twitter at such times that I have never heard under any other circumstances, which is probably intended to encourage each other and keep all the family within hearing as they run about in the twilight.
He gives out very little scent at such times, and you keen-nosed dog, that would wind him at a stone's throw in the autumn, will now pass close by without noticing him, and must almost run over the bird before he draws to a point or shows any signs that game is near.

 The Crab Street Journal: Articles How I started hermit crabbing...
I had a hermit crab once before, when I was 17, not it was 10 years later and after a ton of research on the internet (as people get to know me, they discover I have this wonderful love of gathering information on things).
I have lots of little crabs, and at times I think they are very young like infants are learning about their world, the bigger ones seem to have more stable personalities to them.
They had a little wire climbing background with coral and sponges attached, and were all over it.

She views herself as 'a little ball', 'a little hermit', 'a little boat'.
To be little is not attributing to oneself the virtues that one practices.
Because she put little stock in an act-centered approach to sanctity (it was too self-focused), she was able to centre upon the heart of the gospel—love.

 Hermit X Townsend's Warbler - Jones Beach - Nov 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Since both Hermit and Townsend's are closely related (and also related to Black-throated Green and Golden-cheeked Warblers with which they don't overlap in range) such interbreeding is perhaps not so mysterious.
It's worth noting that Hermit is very, very rare this far East (there is no Hermit Warbler record in NY State) and the easternmost populations of Hermit are precisely those that overlap with Townsend's Warbler and which could generate hybrids.
I personally think there's enough indications of Townsend's Warbler in it's background to mark it as a Hermit X Townsend's hybrid, however I'm not going to start an argument with anyone that has seen the bird and is comfortable with it being an aberrant Hermit.

Swans Commentary: Hermit Crabs and Maître d's: Arrogance in Physics, by Manuel García, Jr.
They are like hermit crabs, relatively insignificant creatures but with one outsized claw with which to confront the world -- their physics.
Our poor little hermit crabs, tossed into a psychic, and social and political world, with such a deficiency of understanding as to how to connect to it, need their big claws and all too often an arrogant display of them, to hide behind.

 My friend Bluey, the hermit crab
As a hermit crab, it was befitting that he be buried at sea with dozens of mourners present.
Hermit crabs are further categorized as class Malacostraca (from the Greek malakos – “soft” and ostrakon - “shell”, as well as the infraorder Anomura (from anomos – “irregular” and oura – “tail”).
Some of the 45 hermit crab species around South Africa filter food particles from the water with their long antennae, but most are scavengers and Bluey was one of them.

 The History of the Hermit (Old Man) Card
Although Smith redrew the figure (adding a few little touches like the hexagram star inside the lantern), the basic symbolism is the same as in the Tarot de Marseille and related decks: An old man in monk's garb, leaning on a stick and holding a lantern.
He looks very much like classic portrayals of Diogenes, the Greek philosopher of Syracuse who went out with a lantern in broad daylight, cynically seeking for an honest man. A hermit, of course, is one who lives away from society, usually in pursuit of religious enlightenment.
I'm actually a little surprised that this card was never called "Old Age", since that seems to be what it depicts, and the ages of life were a common enough subject in Renaissance art.

Demaray spent a long time researching hermit crabs tastes and preferences in housing before drawing up her design for a light-weight plastic shell which can be rapidly produced on a stereolithography machine (aka 3D printer).
In her laboratory beta tests, 25% of hermit crabs opted to dump their old seashell house and upgrade to a new plastic house.
Demaray acknowledges the slightly absurd implications of interspecies design in her writings and even based the design of her structure on the architecture of Giuseppe Terragni, an Italian Fascist active in the 1930s.

But hermit crabs regularly carry sea anemones around with them, stuck to their shells.
