--_4ef0bbc8-b00f-4954-b555-4ae56f79fc14_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All=2C About a month ago I linked to some photos of a swallow & thrush and asked = for ID confirmation.=20 I thought the thrush was a Hermit but it had some features of Gray-cheeked= and/or Bicknell's. The other was a Barn Swallow that had features of the E= urasian Barn Swallow. =20 The consensus on the thrush was that it was a young Hermit although it d= oes have some Bicknell's/Gray cheeked features.=20 The only response I got for the swallow was from Ian McLaren who thought= the bird had features that would indicate it could be the Eurasian subspec= ies (rustica). He offered to send the photos to the N.A. Advanced Birding D= iscussion Group for further analysis. The photos brought only a couple of c= omments which said the bird was most likely a North American bird and the f= eatures noted could indicate either species.=20 Ian has decided that the swallow is probably a young North American Barn= Swallow. =20 And so I have my answers. Thanks to all who offered an opinion.=20 Here is a link to the original photos for those who are interested. http://picasaweb.google.com/atlasmaritimes26/ThrushSwallow=20 All the best.
