    Thrush pics and ID help...

    Im having trouble getting a pic of a new type of bird in the yard. According to the search it may be some type of a Thrush (Bicknell, Hermit, Gray cheeked). It seems I need to get a good look at the eye ring and beek color.

    I thought they may be a female indigo bunting but they have the dotted chest like the thrush variety. There are a bunch of them and they seem to come out more later in the day. They actually move pretty fast - which is why I cant get a pic yet.

    Does anyone have their own pic of one of these Thrush to help me? And anyone in my area who may have a clue on the ID?

    Thanks in advance!


    Happy Birding!

    You may want to try looking up Brown Thrasher.

    maybe an ovenbird of the warbler family. Does this look familiar?

    One of the best places for bird pictures is the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's web site "Bird's of North America": http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna

     

    You might start there.
