RobinHood 730 Posted September 21, 2019 Southern Ontario today - last one. Deep in the shadows and just a glance before it was gone. I see an eye ring - thrush possibly, but not much detail. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akiley 1,152 Posted September 21, 2019 Indeed a thrush, that's a backlit American Robin. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melierax 917 Posted September 21, 2019 Is this very southern Ontario? It looks like a Yellow-breasted Chat to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking that at first, but not only the posture but the extensive eye ring and what looks like a mask just doesn't fit for me. EDIT: Actually, the bill looks better for Robin. I'm still not 100% sure though. Edited September 21, 2019 by Melierax 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melierax 917 Posted September 21, 2019 Okay actually, yeah, I think Robin fits. It just threw me off. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobinHood 730 Posted September 21, 2019 Thanks everyone, a little embarrassing. I thought this might be a test of your Thrush skills - I guess it was. There were Robins everywhere today (and Jays and Cardinals) but this one looked more promising. Foiled again but OTOH very happy with my Tennessee Warbler. Likes to everyone for the speedy response. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
