Interesting (to me anyway) that Varied Thrushes are around Seattle in the summer? I had somehow assumed they all retired to the mountains to breed. For instance, I live SE of Portland in a mixed Deciduous/near/Old Growth Douglas Fir area and I've never seen or heard Varied Thrushes in the summer in 50 years here. Lots of them pass through or winter, especially during snowy/icy weather.. So I looked in eBird for July. There are a lot of records for the greater Seattle area in July. I don't know how to search for breeding records, although they might show up in an individual report. Very tedious to search them all,individually.. So then I tried Macaulay Bird Library where you can search for behaviors. But in this case I could not select the record area for Seattler, it would accept Washington State but not Seattle. Very tedious to search all of Washington State for Seattle where undoubtedly Varied Thrush have records of breeding in the mountains. This seems like a major defect in the systems. But perhaps I just don't know how to do it. Thanks for any help.
