Frequently asked questions

How many thrushes are found in Canada?

18 thrushes that we profile appear on Canada's eBird-reported checklist. The full A–Z list is on this page; the real total can shift as eBird records are added.

Are all of these thrushes really found there?

Yes — each one is on Canada's eBird checklist (reported by birders to the Cornell Lab's eBird), and each of these thrushes belongs to the family group named on this page. We don't rank them by abundance, because that varies by season and locale.
