It was on the white blazed trail leading to the
abandoned building near the Bay.

The Thrush was poking through leaves and had a spotted
chest
and the shape and brown coloring on top of a wood
thrush. It was also larger in size than a Hermit
Thrush. No call was heard, which would have been the
dead giveaway. We (my wife and I) got a 1 minute long
look before some cyclists (using the trail against
regulations) scared it away. Why do cyclists (and I am
one of them) keep off of nature trails?

It looked more like a Wood Thrush than a Swainson's
but there's some room for doubt here.
