AnnDee Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I took some photo's of this bird today @ Gilmore Ponds Preserve Metropark in Butler county Ohio. Close to Hamilton, Ohio. I looked at the bird through binoculars first and it appeared to be buffy on its back and white from its throat, chest, and belly. Later when looking at the poor qaulity photos i took the belly appears to be a lime sherbet color. I'm thinking a swainson's thrush but I saw no spots on chest plus there should be no swainsons hanging around here. I would appreciate any help I.D. this bird. I've slightly edited the photos trying to get the best image I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdbrain22 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Ok... but that is what it is. They sometimes have the yellowish wash to them(mostly juvies) . Edited June 23, 2019 by birdbrain22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
