In the lush, plush brush I spotted a thrush in a rush to not be seen much! Not sure yet what type and such....lol This has proven to be a very difficult bird to identify for certain. At the moment I am thinking it is a hermit thrush. Tough identifications, I find, are best tackled using a process of elimination. Choises left are: hermit thrush, swainson's thrush, grey-cheecked thrush and veery. The hermit thrush is the only thrush described with an olive-brown to russet-brown upperparts, as opposed to just olive-brown. This bird definately looks more russet-brown than olive-brown, which may be the deciding factor.
