[cobirds] Possible Gray-cheeked Thrush (Larimer)

The interesting Thrush that Dave mentions appeared to be a Gray-cheeked Thrush (gray eye ring, dark flanks, black chest spots, no buff in face area, cold gray upperparts). I did not see the tail well (perhaps others did?) so I cannot rule out Hermit Thrush, which would have a reddish tail. If others visit McMurray Ponds NA in Fort Collins later today (Wednesday), please watch for this bird (and let me know what you find please).

Broad-winged Hawk, and one thrush which I will leave to Nick to describe (I never saw it).  ...[snip]...

All the birds were in the flooded stand of trees just west and south of theMcMurry Ponds parking lot. McMurry Ponds is at the end of Hemlock St. off of N College Ave.
