Mush Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Hello, 1. I have taken pictures of this migrating thrush along the west coast of Florida. However, I cannot decide if its a gray-cheeked thrush or a swainson's thrush. The buffiness makes me think swainson's but the eye ring looks a bit faint, so it may be a gray-cheeked. If anyone could help that would be great! 2. Not as good of a photo, but I found this photo taken last October during fall migration in Central Florida. I'm pretty sure this one is a swainson's because its eyering is pretty distinct. 3. I'm 90% Sure this one is a Gray Cheeked. Dull Color, Basically no eye ring. However, if I'm wrong please do tell. Thanks! Edited April 23, 2020 by Mush Added a third thrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Gray-cheeked Thrushes have... wait for it... gray cheeks. 😎 They also nearly lack eye rings and definitely lack the supraloral bars that connect the two eye rings into spectacles on Swainson's Thrush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
