Interesting shot of the thrush, Fritz, and good quality still taken from
a video!!<br><br>
Likely someone has already I.D. it for you but it's quite a challenge
especially since Bicknell's nest so close to you!!<br><br>
This bird is quite young and hasn't developed much of anything! No colour
on the lower mandible, very little colour if any on the tail, face/cheeks
are so gray it could be a Gray-cheeked, very light markings on the
underside &amp; an overall flat tone to the upperparts. The primary
projection marks it as a Hermit but little else to go on. Perhaps Lance
can offer a better analysis since he has undoubtedly banded such
individuals.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi All,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm catching up on some video editing and have some ID
questions about two birds that I thought I'd throw out for confirmation.
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; The first is a thrush that I'm pretty sure is a Hermit but
has some marks of the Bicknell's or Gray-cheeked Thrush. It hit a window
so looks a little stunned. <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; The second is a Barn Swallow; probably 1st year; that has
some features of the Eurasian subspecies. It looks a little unhappy as it
was raining when it made the video.<br>
&nbsp;If anyone wants to have a look I've uploaded them on Picasa.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp; On another note; my local Sharpie seems to have got his
hunting technique down pat. He's taken a Blue Jay on two successive days
in almost the exact same location of my yard. <br>
