Tweeters,
Yesterday evening (about 9:15PM), while listening to Sora and Virginia Rails calling from the wetland, my wife and I were taken aback by a VARIED THRUSH singing from a nearby Douglas-fir. It kept singing for almost 25 minutes - at first from close to us, but eventually moving off south to sing from the neighbor's Douglas-fir patch.

The latest we've had Varied Thrush stay in our vicinity in Roy after wintering over is early April. Nothing like the third week of May!

May all your birds be identified,
Denis DeSilvis
