Hi -
I suspect the western form, "Russet-backed" is in that area but I am not
sure. The two are pretty easy to tell apart with a good view: upper-parts
color is quite different. The differences are perhaps comparable to the
differences between our wintering and breeding HERMIT Thrushes.

Subject: [obol] Black Butte Swamp thrush question
Greetings.
Birded the Black Butte swamp this am coming in from the Glaze Meadow side.
Very active with abundant vireos, flycatchers, warblers and woodpeckers. My
hope was Veery with previous reports from years past. No luck with Veery.
Swainson's Thrush were scattered in the swamp. Hoping to sort out
Interior West versus Pacific. Are these Swainson's spill overs from the
other side of the Cascades or part of the interior west population?
Similar question to White-breasted Nuthatch and a few others.
thanks
