Thx for watching

Great pics a a good number to take off your list I;m no expert and the shot is a tough one to mack a call on but your Ovenbird could be a Hermit Thrush.
-
Nice variety! The dark streaking behind the eye and spots on the flanks all the way to back make me think Wood Thrush, but the ? need to be kept.
-
Wow that's a massive haul. Good job spotting them...I know you have a good eye. And all that with a bum lens..hopefully you're able to get it fixed soon.

Stunning pictures Palo - especially of the Catbird and Blackburnian. Nice seeing you yesterday.

Some great pics! Your mystery bird is a wood thrush not an oven bird.

Thx Cosmo! At first I thought it was a Hermit but this one had a white eye ring and clearer whitish cheeks. My other photo of Hermits didn't.

Thx Thomas and again you have come to my rescue, it is indeed a Wood Thrush! I don't know how I could have missed this. Thanks again!

Thx Rotarren! I did have a lot of help from fellow birders Iding and spotting the birds. A big thanks to all of them!
It was very challenging shooting with only manual focus for a couple of days and I've learnt a lot doing so. I found I got better results shooting birds that were hidden in bushes e.t.c.. Sigma fixed the problem under warranty within a few hours! Very little down time and my confidence in the product is back. ;)

It was great to see you also Molebird and thanks very much for pointing out the Catbird and Iding the Blackburnian... very appreciated. ;)

Thx Beresford for the kind words and the confirmation, very appreciated. Happy birding
