Hi Tweeters,
Yesterday morning I heard the unmistakable whistle of a Varied Thrush at Wallace Swamp Creek Park. I know it's too early but it continued to call and I am sure it was a Varied Thrush. Although I never did see the source of the call I tracked it to the area of the park that was the most predictable area of the park to find them last winter. I finally gave up my hunt thinking it could have been a whistle from the Kenmore School playground adjacent to the park. Well, today I was pleased to see (but not hear) a male Varied Thrush in the Kenmore School Arboretum. I just checked my records and the earliest I've seen Varied thrush in Wallace Swamp Creek Park was 11-2-05.
Has any one else in the lowlands seen VATH this fall? I thought it was mountain snows that brought them down, it's not snowing yet is it?
