Subject: [Tweeters] Lots of Varied Thrushes

I'm wondering if they were just more concentrated in the snow in some places. When I was noticing so many of them in Birch Bay yesterday, I was driving through the neighborhoods/properties and I was noticing them in many different yards/properties but never more than two at a time. One stretch seem to have them about every 2-3 yards.

I had several Varied Thrushes in my yard with the snow. Then, as the snow disappeared, so did the Varied Thrushes.

Yesterday, from my home-office window in Kirkland, I saw
many happy birds picking at the seeds where the snow had melted on our
neighbor's lawn. Among them were a handful of Varied Thrushes -- first
time I've seen more than two at a time here.


What a lovely bird:

On 1/12/2012 the first Varied
Thrush for the winter flew into my yard - camping under the bird feeder.
Then another one the next day, and another the next. And another and
another and another.? I just counted 23.? That seems like a
lot.
