Thrush

Post by MtnAg08 »

Saw this one three different times on my walk this evening. Don't know if it's different or the same bird who just kept moving ahead of me. I'm guessing Swainson's. Avon, CO. Thanks!

Are all three photos the same bird? The second one has more wash on its breast than the first, darker feet, and a bicolor bill.

They all look like Swainson's Thrush to me. The eyering is very distinct.

I don't think it's the same bird but is possible. I took the photo in three different spots but went out and back and took one photo out and 2 on the way back. It could have moved to different spots as it was a close vicinity where they were all taken but most likely at least 2 different birds.
