The Gray-cheeked Thrush is one of the most northern thrushes seen in North America. This bird's habitat is at the northern ranges of the boreal forest and through the tundra. It is very similar in appearance to the Bicknell's Thrush, which only has a small breeding range in the areas of eastern North America. These thrushes migrate south into the tropical countries during the winter months. It has been seen as a migrant in Cuba.
