Yesterday, I called the homeowner at whose feeder the Varied Thrush has been
seen, and made arrangements to visit. This morning, I spent a couple hours
there, and saw the Varied Thrush numerous times. He was beautiful! In the
sunshine, his orange feathers looked as vivid as a Baltimore Oriole's! The
bird hung out with a mixed flock of Pine & Yellow Grosbeaks, and they would
feed off the ground under the feeders for a while, disappear for about 20
minutes, then come back to feed again.
What are the odds that this Varied Thrush would fly into town on January 1st
to be counted in the Hibbing Area CBC? Oh well - I can wish.....
If you'd like to try to see this Varied Thrush, contact Laura Erickson or me
for directions and the home owner's phone number.
