Swainson's Thrush is a medium-sized brown thrush with a pale, buff-coloured eye-ring. It breeds in northern and mountain forests and winters from Mexico to South America. The species feeds on insects and other invertebrates on the forest floor and takes more fruit later in the year. Its song is a rising series of flute-like phrases. Pacific birds are generally more reddish-brown than populations from the interior.
