Gray-cheeked Thrush

Gray-cheeked Thrush (Catharus Minimus)

Accession #: 269.03

This bird prefers to live far north in North America, preferring the upper, colder parts of Canada to breed and migrating around the eastern portion of the United States. They are relatively shy and are quite hard to differentiate from their other thrush brethren, but can notably be identified by their beautiful mating song. The gray-cheeked thrush was only identified separately from Bucknells in 1995, though they look nearly identical.
