I've been hearing 1-2 Varied Thrushes since Friday morning. And like you, it seems awfully early.

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.
