This afternoon, Daren O'brien and I went to scout for next week's Christmas Bird Count that I'm taking on for the first time. The first bird we found was a male VARIED THRUSH on the west side of C-470 along Bear Creek. We lost the bird but found him a little farther west with a group of Robins. I got many good shots of the bird feeding on the snow along the creek. When I looked down to admire my shots I saw "no card". I ran to my car and by the time I returned, the bird flew to the hillside that is covered with juniper berries. I'm guessing this bird may be relocated when the Robins fly in from the hillside for water. If looking for this bird, park in the small parking area on Soda Lakes Rd. on the left side of Morrison Rd, west of C-470. The bird was initially east of Soda Lakes Rd. along the creek, then it relocated west of the road along the creek. If anyone is interested in joining the bird count on Saturday, let me know.
