Like most of you, I don't see much indicating Swainson's Thrush, and would
say Hermit.
I am a bit puzzled by the empid, but don't think we can rule out Dusky
either.

It's definitely a bit early for Swainson's... most arrive mid-May. Photo
isn't terrible, but tough to latch onto anything about it that confirms
Swainson's over Hermit in my opinion.

Also what about the Empid on that checklist? Strikes me as a Willow?
