This afternoon I got a brief look at a Varied Thrush in a flock of about 200 foraging robins just east of Silver Bay. If you're coming from the south on Highway 61, take a right on the road to the Ready Mix cement plant, about two blocks past the stoplight in Silver Bay. This dirt road comes to a T near the lake, and taking another right leads you to a water treatment plant (at the east boundary of the Northshore Mining property). The robin flock was in the birch/spruce woods south of the road. There were also about 75 Bohemian Waxwings in the same spot.
