Title: Please help ID this thrush? A hermit?
Post by: wildinthecity on April 28, 2014, 01:44:02 PM

Hi and thank you in advance for any help confirming that this is a hermit thrush found over this past weekend at Ashbridge's Bay in Toronto, Ont.

Yes, hermit thrush.  In this part of the world, the combination of dark but limited breast spotting, brownish back and reddish tail and wings is diagnostic for hermit thrush.
