Swainson’s thrush (Catharus ustulatus)from Wikipedia: These birds migrate to southern Mexico and as far south as Argentina. The coastal subspecies migrate down the Pacific coast of North America and winter from Mexico to Costa Rica, whereas the continental birds migrate eastwards within North America (a substantial detour) and then travel southwards via Florida to winter from Panama to Bolivia. Swainson’s thrush is a very rare vagrant to western Europe. It has also occurred as a vagrant in northeast Asia. The attached images where taken today in Altos del Maria, Panama.
