Bicknell's Thrush
Catharus bicknelli (Ridgway, 1882)
Turdidae — Thrushes
Bicknell's Thrush, Catharus bicknelli, breeds in north-eastern North America, in the USA and Canada, and spends the non-breeding season in Hispaniola. It is a passerine in the thrush family. The bird is closely associated with coniferous mountain tops and disturbed habitats in its breeding range. It is very similar to the Gray-cheeked Thrush, but the two differ a little in form and voice, and their breeding ranges are entirely separate. The species was first identified scientifically by Ridgway in 1882 and takes its name from Eugene Bicknell, who found it on Slide Mountain in the Catskills.
