Spirit bird

Hermit Thrush

Catharus guttatus

"A melodic soul with an observant eye"

Since you loved the Robin and the Pine Grosbeak but passed on the intense stares of the owls, you lean toward birds that are gentle and grounded yet deeply musical. Your plaid-clad, cozy home-vibe perfectly matches this hardy forest dweller that hides a world-class flute-song behind a modest, focused exterior.

A note on your bird: it wasn't picked from the 10 you swiped through — those were just the warm-up. It was chosen from our full flock of 100 iconic Canadian birds, matching the pattern of what moved you. That's why it may be one you never met on your journey.
