Last night was a good night for Swainson's Thrushes and Gray-cheeked Thrushes. There were several small waves throughout the night. The descent was full of blinging Swainson's Thrushes and a few screaming Gray-cheeked Thrushes. I heard my first migratory Hermit Thrushes of the fall last night as well (5:03am and 5:47am).
Last thrush was a Gray-cheeked at 6:24am and first Blue Jay was at 6:30am. Attached is a brief clip of the loudest and densest section of Swainson's (and a few distant Gray-cheeked Thrushes) descending at 6:21am. Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
