Everyone,

I'm so sorry for the mistype -- my report should have read Swainson's 
thrushes rather than Hermit thrushes. I was talking to someone about 
thrushes while composing my e-mail, and apparently I got my wires 
crossed. Usually I double-check and even triple-check my posts -- this 
will teach me never to send one off in a hurry. :) Thanks to everyone 
who caught it so quickly.

I know it's clearly on the early side of migration even for Swainson's 
thrushes, but I know these guys well (having seen decent numbers of 
Veeries, Hermits, and Swainson's in the field, and having banded all 
three species as well as Grey-cheeked thrushes). Both thrushes were 
foraging rather close to a Wood Thrush, and I got a good look at those 
buffy spectacles as well as the general overall impression of color and 
spotting on the breast, etc.

Again, my apologies.
