312. (757). Turdus alici:^ i?a/rfZ. Gray-cheeked Thrush. 

 Occurs within our limits as a migrant only, breeding north of 



the United States. While it must occur in considerable numbers 

 during the migrations, the fact remains that it has escaped the 

 notice of nearly all the collectors of the state, doubtless owing to 

 the resemblance to its near relative, the Olive-backed Thrush. 



County Records. — Cumberland, "uncommon transient" (Brown's Cat. 

 Birds of Portland, p. 3). 



313. (758a). Turdus ustulatus swainsonii (Cab.). Olive- 

 backed Thrush. 



A somewhat rare summer resident in many parts of the state, 

 while in some places it is common. During the nesting season it 

 need not be looked for except within the Canadian fauna, while 

 elsewhere it occurs in the migrations. 



County Records. — Androscoggin, "rare summer resident" (Johnson) ; 

 Aroostook, "Fort Fairfield and Houlton*' (Batchelder, Bull. Nutt. Orn. 

 Club, Vol. 7, p. 108); Cumberland, "rare migrant" (Mead); Franklin, 

 "rare summer resident'' (Richards) ; Hancock, "summer resident" 

 (Murch) ; Kennebec, "very rare summer resident" (Robbins) ; Knox, 

 "summer"' (Racklift) ; Oxford, "breeds rarely" (Nash); Penobscot, 

 "not common summer resident" (Knight) ; Piscataquis, "common sum- 

 mer resident" (Homer) ; AVashington, "not common summer resident" 

 (Boardman). 



314. (759b). Turdus aonalaschk;v pallasii (Cab.). Hermit 

 Thrush. 



Our commonest Thrush as a migrant and summer resident. I 

 have seen it in late October and also early April. 



County Records.- — Androscoggin, "fairly common summer resident" 

 (Johnson) ; Cumberland, "common summer resident" (Brown's Cat. 

 Birds of Portland, p. 3), "common summer resident" (Mead) ; Franklin, 

 "common summer resident*' (Swain) ; Hancock, "summer resident"
