Hi Tweets:
I heard my First of Season Varied Thrush in the woods across the street
from my house doing its scold call.  It was today, mid-day here in Des
Moines.  I've usually only heard VATH's singing at dawn in my neighborhood.
The scold call sounded like a rapid eh-eh-eh-eh.
I guess this means that it got pretty cold in the mountains last night.
Yours, Carol Schulz
