I found one at Rockwood Park in Chesterfield County the same morning - seems
like they are moving through!

Subject: [Va-bird] Swainson's Thrush in Gum Spring this morning
There was a strange thrush singing with the hyperactive Wood Thrush in the yard
this morning. As hard as I listened...it just wouldn't become a Veery...so
while sitting in my office I put on the Peterson's and began to compare
thrushes. Sure enough...it matches the Swainson's. I have not heard him for
the past 20 minutes or so (though the Wood Thrush is still going strong)...but
he sang all across the front yard in the woods this morning for over an hour.
NEW YARD BIRD for Gum Spring!!
P.S. Thanks to the Margaret Watson Bird Club for their new edition of the
"Birds of Virginia's South Central Piedmont". It helped me confirm that what I
was hearing was actually possible!!
