This is definitely a Hermit Thrush, Marie. The last two shots show the
distinctive rufous-colored tail (which contrasts with the brown back). Both
Swainson's and Hermit Thrushes have eye-rings, but Swainson's will have a
brown tail that is similar to the back color. The timing is also better for
Hermit, being early migrants -- and Swainson's arrive later in the spring --
typically around May 1 or so.

Hi All. Had this thrush visit my yard yesterday morning. Can you id it for
me? Is it a Swainson's, or am I way off? I posted it to my shop's facebook
page, in an album. Go past the squirrel photos and you'll see it. Hopefully
the photos are good enough to identify it properly. Thanks for any help you
can give me.
