Swainson’s Thrush
Catharus ustulatus
(L 7" WS 1s" WT 1.1 oz)
More reddish in the west than the “olive-
backed” found elsewhere...may be displaced
by the Hermit Thrush where they overlap.

“The Throstle”
‘Summer is coming, summer is coming,
I know it, I know it, I know it.
Light again, leaf again, life again, love again!’
Yes, my wild little Poet.
Sing the new year in under the blue,
Last year you sang it as gladly.
‘New, new, new, new!’ Is it then _so_ new
That you should carol so madly?
(Alfred Lord Tennyson)
