Thank you all!! Hermit Thrush it is:) it was the grey body color that threw me 
off. I thought hermits were brown.
Thank again for your help!

Subject: Thrush Id help please.

Today I saw a thrush which I thought was a Swainson's thrush but after reading 
Id notes in Crosley I am not so sure. It could also be a Hermit Thrush.
This is what I saw:
The area was at the Wildlife sanctuary close to marker B behind the resource 
center. There was open grass area where it was feeding on worms with a robin. 
There was thick underbrush around the grass area.
Bold eye ring
Speckled upper chest that faded to the belly. 
Over all the bird was more grey than brown, but it did have a bright rufus tail 
and primaries.
Mostly black bill.
Smaller than the Robin by a couple of inches.
What do you all think?
Thank you! Sorry I do not have a pic:(
