Early this afternoon I found a bright male Varied Thrush in my backyard maple tree. I watched it move about the tree for about five minutes. It then flew south out of my yard into the next lot. I walked outside and could not find the bird again. There are many fruit bearing trees in the area, so the bird still may be in the area. I will post if refound.
