I left shortly after I posted the sighting. At the time I left the robins were still feeding in the tree, did not see the Varied Thrush. When I returned at 3:00 pm, there weren't any birds to be seen and have not seen any since (now 7:15 pm).
Last Saturday, March 8th, we had approximately 30 robins and 30 Cedar Waxwings feeding in the tree from around 8:00 am til noon. I did not see any robins or waxwings until yesterday morning at10:00 am and the few birds stayed for about an hour. Today, only the Robins and of course the Varied Thrush appeared and that was at 12:45 pm. There is fruit in the tree, so they may return.
