Correct me if I'm wrong: A Swainson's thrush song always inflects upward while a hermit thrush's song is "quieter" and has more tremolo, almost a finer quality.

I no longer have audio for my computer, but I have listened to bird song recordings on this website in the past. On the sad side, one Swainson's thrush has been silenced. It looks like it hit a window at my parent's cabin.
