Cobirders,

I have NOT seen the VATH in my yard since Monday evening.  I spoke with a good friend/neighbor who lives about two blocks from me, who saw the thrush in her backyard briefly yesterday.  With all the snow now mostly melted off, the VATH has lots more forage area to choose from and is likely roaming the neighborhood and maybe Cherry Creek State Park or has moved westward.  If he returns with coming weather system with any regularity, I will post again.

Interestingly, I spoke with another neighbor who lives about 3 blocks from me who had seen the VATH at her yard between Jan 9 and Jan 22.  She brought pictures to show me for confirmation.  Makes it highly likely that this is the same individual here for the winter.

Cobirders,

The Varied Thrush showed up in my yard again after a five day absence. I thought he might have had the migratory urge and moved on to the northwest, but he must have been hanging around the neighborhood.  There will be painters working in the yard behind me the next few days, so maybe he will decide these aren't such great digs after all. If he stays, I'll post again.
