We, too, have been enjoying yard visits from Varied Thrushes, with the most being 5 in one day. Nearly every day, I see one or two. Last year, I think I saw one!

I was able to get a few good photos. I hope they stick around for a while. It was a busy feeder day, with Juncos, Stellers Jays, Fox Sparrows, Golden-Crowned Sparrows, Chickadees, Flickers and Anna's hummers. Didn't see any Bushtits or Bewick's wrens.
