An attractive little bird, it landed close by and remained long enough for me to photograph it. This was taken in early spring, and it’s a migrant species. I believe it’s a phoebe, but please correct me if I’ve got it wrong.

Lovely capture, Belinda. Wow, glad I caught this one after it was identified as a Swainson’s Thrush. Exciting discovery!

I like it when the birds stay long enough to get their picture taken. This one is a real cutie.

I had to take down our bird feeder. Too many squirrels and chipmunks and mice and what not. I am going to miss the birds. (And this from someone who didn’t much care for birds until he put up the feeder!)

I’ll miss them too. Fortunately several remain throughout the winter.

How exciting to see and photograph this cutie. I too think it’s a Thrush.

It was. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for them next spring. Thanks Deborah!

What a soft, gentle photo. It looks like a thrush to me…maybe a hermit thrush.

Hi Belinda I believe that it is a Swainson’s Thrush (Catharus ustulatus) A very rare vagrant to the UK though I have been lucky to see the very similar Grey Cheeked Thrush. Great shot btw.
