Observation details
***Very rare; apparent eighth state record if accepted, with the seventh being a bird I photographed earlier today at Jay Em 35 miles S of here. Moving with a lose group of SWTH in the riparian above the rez here (42.927009, -104.555906). Initially detected by loud, nasal "jeeer" calls that I wasn't familiar with. Played GCTH calls immediately after on Sibley app and they were identical. Quickly located it buried at shoulder-height within a deciduous tree. Thrush with relatively long bill and mostly orange-yellow lower mandible. Cold gray face, very unlike the buffy spectacled look of the nearby SWTH. Back and tail uniformly brown. Fairly extensive dark spotting on the upper breast. Looked the same as the bird from Jay Em which I photographed much better, but these pics should still be diagnostic.
