BOTD: Swainson's Thrush
Photo: Andy Reago & Chrissy McClarren
"During the peak of migration, Swainson's Thrushes are often very common in woodlots and parks, lurking in the thickets, slipping into fruiting trees to pluck berries. Although they tend to stay out of sight, the patient birder eventually can see them well enough to discern the bold buffy eye-rings that give these birds their alert or startled look. Like the other brown thrushes, Swainson's migrate mostly at night, and their distinctive callnotes can be heard from overhead on clear nights during spring and fall."

Swainson's Thrush
It was a surprise to find this Swainson's Thrush timidly hiding in the brush of Hickory Hills Park a few days ago. Normally they have all moved south by now, but perhaps our warm weather of late has delayed its migratory journey.

Swainson's Thrush
Speckled chest, slim body, pale eye-ring and short straight bill means you’re looking at a Swainson’s thrush. Its call is a soft hwoit.

Battle Royale
so you got submitted to a niche bird poll (A-2)
These birds all have more than a million sightings on eBird, what were you thinking submitting them to a dumb niche hipster poll??? Joking aside, these birds were definitely too popular to get into the poll itself. Please vote for your favorite here!

Swainson's Thrush
The Swainson's Thrush seems to prefer avoiding notice as it hunts for food near the woodland floor. Its markings match its behavior...which conveys a comfortable existence.

Saw a yellow-bellied sapsucker and a pileated woodpecker for the first time today
#i dont particularly love any of the photos i took of them but hopefully i can photograph them again at this site and do them justice#the pileated woodpecker was huge#i knew they were roughly crow sized but that seemed so wrong that it didnt compute in my brain#when i first saw it flying i figured it was a hawk of some kind just based on size#but nope#so now i have seen all but one of the native woodpeckers in my area#the one i still have yet being the red headed#im not counting lewis's bc its rare it only occurs as a vagrant#so i do not consider it native#super incredible day for animal sightings tho#there was a large flock on wild turkeys foraging in the leaves#and then all of a sudden a coyote popped out and made an unsuccessful attack attempt#it was so unexpected that i unfortunately did not get photos of the attack#(not much of a loss bc the light was too poor to shoot at the shutter speed id need to capture the action)#but i managed to get a few shots of the coyote through the trees#theyre obstructed but they kinda work bc they show the nature of the species#unfortunately parts of the background are blown out bc the backdrop was a white house in sunlight#and i didnt know if id be able to get to a better angle before it left and i probably wouldnt of#my plan is to shoot a forest backdrop from the same location around the same time in similar lighting and composite that into the photo...#...as the backdrop#its rare i actually get the opportunity to watch wild mammalian predators hunting so that was really cool to see even if it wasnt successfu#also got some shots i really like of a swainsons/maybe hermit thrush#i cant quite tell#sadly none of my photos give a good view of the tail which is the main indicator#im leaning towards swainsons bc it seems to have a little more buffy coloration around the eyes than hermit thrushes tend to#but the lighting is a little funky so its hard to tell for sure#and it was in person too so memory doesnt help#edit: after comparing photos im about 80% sure it was swainsons lol
