Spotted
The Grey-cheeked Thrush is a relatively drab but subtly beautiful thrush, known for its extensive migratory journeys. It has a plain grey face and lacks the prominent eye-ring of some related species.
Where to spot
Breeds in the boreal forests of northern North America (Canada, Alaska). It winters exclusively in northern South America, primarily in the Amazon basin. Best seen during migration across North, Central, and South America.
How to spot
Look for it foraging quietly in dense undergrowth in woodlands, parks, or suburban areas, especially during migration. Listen for its distinctive, spiraling, flute-like song and a characteristic abrupt 'veew' call.
When to spot
Primarily observed during spring (April-June) and autumn (August-October) migration periods as they pass through various forested and shrubby habitats across their extensive migratory flyways.
