Thanks to kind and gentle emails from Christian Nunes, Nick Komar, and Dave Leatherman I now think that the bird I saw near Marshall Reservoir was a sage thrasher, not a Swainson’s thrush. My impression was that the tail was too short and the bill too straight to be a thrasher, but after studying Cornell’s photos, I concur that sage thrasher is very close to my now-fuzzy memory. Plus, it is a much more likely bird to be in that habitat. Carol Cushman Boulder
