Observation details

Continuing rarity, now on its third day (at least, was most likely here before I spotted it on Thursday). Easily one of the most gorgeous thrush sp. I’ve ever seen. Very skittish bird that blends into the ground like it has an invisibility cloak on, its unbelievable! Gets less scared of you the longer you stand still. Photos to come. *Update 11/07/2023: As I finally add the photos I’ve intended to put on this checklist for three years now, I’d just like to remark at how unbelievable this bird was. Not only did it stay for about a week, this GCTH was ridiculously confiding, just coming out on the gazebo lawn to feed like it was a normal Robin. I can’t emphasize enough how atypical this bird was as compared to the rest of the GCTH I’ve ever encountered. To this day, we’ve never had another GCTH found at the Landing (a real shame), but at least I got my fill of this one on four separate occasions!!
