I came home to a Varied Thrush in the front yard 2 weeks ago with a bunch of Robins, down in Issaquah's old town area. I haven't seen them since, but I've been away a good portion of that time and we have yet to put feeders back up after the flu epidemic.

Joshua Hayes, It depends on where you are, which you didn't mention. I still have multiple Varied Thrushes coming to my feeders in Skamania County, but we are at the 1,000' elevation and still have snow on the ground. Bird distribution and timing are like real estate, it is all about the location. Wilson CadyColumbia River Gorge, WA

I had three throughout the winter, but they disappeared some time ago. Hans

My wife wants to know if they're gone up to the mountains to breed or if they've just fallen silent - pretty sure it's the former, but thought I'd ask, since she loves that eerie song.

Cheers,
