Bicknell's Thrush is a rare and secretive migratory thrush endemic to the montane forests of northeastern North America. It is similar to the Grey-cheeked Thrush but slightly smaller with a more reddish tail.
Where to spot
Breeds in dense, stunted conifer forests (often Balsam Fir) on high mountain peaks in northeastern North America (e.g., New England, New York, maritime Canada). Winters in the Greater Antilles.
How to spot
Requires hiking to high elevations and extreme patience. Listen for its unique, upward-spiraling, jumbled song, which is often the only way to detect its presence. It's very shy.
When to spot
Breeds in summer; seen during spring and fall migration. Best observed during dawn and dusk when males sing.
