Gray-cheeked & Swainson's Thrushes Side by Side | Bird Pond Cam Video of Both Birds Enjoying Bath

Filmed at my backyard bird pond in eastern Tennessee. September 19, 2023. I love it when similar and sometimes difficult to tell apart birds appear side by side on video. The Swainson's Thrushes arrived this week. They spend some time here every year during fall migration. There are often quite a few of them - and sometimes they bring a friend :-) The Gray-cheeked Thrush is similar in overall appearance but quite different if you can get a good look. The main difference is they lack the prominent buffy colored eye ring that the Swainson's have. I've also noticed that the Swainson's have an overall warm brown wash versus the Gray-cheeked Thrush's cooler gray coloration. I like watching of these each year. Let me know in the comments if you're seeing either of these thrushes during this year's migration season. Thanks for watching! #birds #birdidentification
