I would like to send out a big THANKS to the Walters household for being so
gracious in their hospitality in letting birders view the Varied Thrush. I
stopped by yesterday for a look, and Sean mentioned that SIXTY-FIVE birders had
seen the bird so far. Frankly, that sounds like a giant pain

COBirds,
Happy to hear the Brant - assuming it's the same bird - has been refound in

Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers for the comparison on my
blog with the facial markings of the female sapsucker. Much more complex
and bird-nerdy now.
