Varied thrush CCSP Tues evening Feb 23
All winter there have been 20-30 robins out the road to the gun range,
from any bushes until the road turns through the fence/gate and even to the
trees to the left of the gate. Late afternoon Feb 23 there was a varied
thrush on the right side of the road. It sat on a tree branch for over two
minutes, then dropped toward the ground as light dimmed. I went back on
Wednesday but did not see the bird. I would believe the bird is still
there, and difficult to find, as I have birded this place many times this
winter without seeing it.
One of my favorite times of year occurs as ice thaws in early spring and
ducks arrive. At the Cottonwood creek pond there were two pairs of hooded
mergansers and one pair of gadwall. In the water by the marina were many
common goldeneye, two lesser scaup, about a dozen hooded mergansers, 25
common/American mergansers, and lots of mallards.
