gpoole Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Nova Scotia this morning. There are lots of Hermit Thrush and a few Swainson's Thrush in my stompin' grounds and I see them daily. This bird was perched over a swamp and was picking bugs from the water. I was able to grab a couple of poor shots, and upon review, it just looks a little different. The spotting on the throat and breast seem to stop abruptly and the eyering seems broken. I was not able to get a look at the tail. Before I dismiss it as a Hermit, could you folks have a quick look. Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hermit seems a reasonable ID. Pay attention to behavior, as Hermit's slow tail lift is distinctive in the genus, at least within the ABA Area. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
