Varied Thrushes occur in the Pacific northwest from Alaska to California. Occasionally they get lost like this one and end up in the northeast during the winter.

Thanks Karen and Kathleen. The Varied Thrush is a great bird, I wish they showed up here more often.
Lovely! Like KarenSaxton, I look forward to these in my gardens every winter here in southwestern BC. Here is a link to my snow-eating Varied Thrush!

I awake each late winter and early spring morning to the one tone flute song of the Varied Thrush:)
One of my favorite "winter" birds - yep I'm a northwesterner. Cool find
Haha ok well to make you feel better about yours, here is mine, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/178...
It's cropped and taken through a door haha
Ashley, these Varied Thrushes are a thrill to see and this was my lifer 10 years ago. The picture is ok, but is cropped a lot and you wouldn't want to see it if I enlarged it:-)
One got lost here last winter, he was a lifer for me. Your picture came out way better than mine though haha, great shot!
Thanks gatorfellows.
lovely :)
