Swainson’s Thrush

I have often blogged about this common migrant—the Swainson’s Thrush. A link to a few of these posts can be found here. None of my previous photos show this thrush’s mustaches quite so comically. This species winters from Mexico through northern South America. A bird I banded on 19 May 1985 in Aberdeen, South Dakota, was recovered in Guatemala on 11 April 1988.
