Hi  Billy 
I was out on the trail near home and
saw one on the trial at Martin's Point.
I'm no expert either but it sure looked like the book.

   I spotted large numbers of Swainson's Thrush yesterday in Inverness 
Co.  In the morning I was walking a trail off Whycocomagh Mt.Rd., and 
flushed something.  I phished and up popped not one, but eight 
Swainson's. I'm not a thrush expert, but I'm basing my identication on 
the fact that none of these birds had any obvious rufous coloring, even 
on the tail.
   Later that day, I was  quietly sitting in mixed forest on the 
Scotsville side of Whycocomagh Mt, near Piper's Glen. Again, I heard 
something hopping through the dead leaves near me.  When I phished 
quietly, this time 12 came into the call, moving all around me. 
Obviously there is a very large movement going on, as these two groups 
were at least 40 km. apart.  There also seems to be an explosion of 
Ruffed Grouse in the area, as we counted 25 in two days, with only one 
Spruce Grouse.
