I was taking a walk on the trail upstream from Kingfisher bridge at Chatfield reservoir when I saw two large sparrows working the grass along the trail. My mind jumped to hermit thrush us because they both look so red but they’re chests and abdomen‘s were heavily streaked. Their tail was longish and had a fair amount of brick/red coloring. The scapulars were also reddish. There was some striping on the head, and there was some white under the chin that went partway around the neck.
I took pictures with my iPhone, but have yet to find the birds in the pictures. 😒 I would love some help on this ID dilemma. Thanks!
