Abundant in Morton County too. I believe we counted 16 coming out of one tree in the shelterbelt. They became a running joke throughout the day. Ted

Subject: Swainson’s Thrush migration
This email originated from outside of K-State.
Those on the KOS field trips in Western Kansas have noticed a significant movement of Swainsons thrushes. Yesterday, Jim Nickel, and I probably saw up to 50 of these birds. Pretty amazing. Most of these were in Stanton County, but I suspect the neighboring counties had equal numbers.
