Hi all,

I have an interesting thrush in my yard and I'm not sure what it is.  It
looks a bit like a hermit thrush but I don't know how it could be this time
of year.  I don't think it is a wood thrush or veery, which leaves
bicknell's, swainson's or gray-cheeked, all of which I would have difficulty
differentiating between without hearing it vocalize, which unfortunately it
didn't.

I have a few photos here:

for those interested.  I apologize for the quality - it was evening and I
was taking the photos through a glass door.

I think it is still hanging around the yard today, so I'll try to get a
better shot.  It did sway somewhat while foraging though, which I thought
was fairly interesting.  Sort of like a woodcock does, though much less
dramatic.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Colin Hebert
