Varied Thrush flock.....and bring winter


One of our favorite birds that visits us on occasion is the Varied Thrush.  It comes here only "on occasion," when they migrate through.  They come in flocks of 15-25.

It was a cloudy day when they arrived this year so the photos aren't very good.  In the morning they were all over the back yard, and then that evening all over the front yard.  Then they left. 




And they left just in time, because soon after this happened:



Vicky took this photo.  Looks like a Christmas card:




p.s.  When the sun is out this is what the Varied Thrushes can look like.  They are beautiful.
