Another Lifer!

I was really excited to receive confirmation of last week's new life birds (Swamp Sparrow, Northern Parula, Blue-headed Vireo). And this morning, another showed up and I was able to ID it myself -- Swainson's Thrush. Kind of a drab looking bird, but the spotted pattern on the chest makes it interesting. I had to do a lot of investigation work to distinguish it from the similar Hermit's Thrush, but I am confident of my ID after absorbing the differences and then seeing the Swainson's once again during my lunch break.
