Veery, Yoav Perlman

An extremely rare visitor, this small, tawny-coloured thrush breeds across much of southern Canada but takes a more westerly migratory route to wintering grounds in southern Brazil, a fact that accounts for its relative rarity in Britain & Ireland compared to some of its congeners.
