SWAINSON'S THRUSH Catharus ustulatus with an Insect at the Milpe Bird Sanctuary in Northwestern ECUADOR. Photo by Peter Wendelken.

SWAINSON'S THRUSH Catharus ustulatus. This Swainson's Thrush is holding an insect in the tip of its bill at the Milpe Bird Sancuary close to San Miguel de Los Bancos in northwestern Ecuador on November 26, 2013. At the Milpe Bird Sancuary on this day we found these thrushes to be very common.

The Swainson's Thrush belongs to the avian family Turdidae.

The Swainson's Thrush nests in North America and winters in the West Indies and as far south in South America as northern Argentina.
