Title: Varied Thrush - Midtown
Post by: crawshaw on February 08, 2015, 01:29:05 PM

We have a Varied Thrush hanging around our, and neighbouring, backyards today (Sunday 8th) at St Clair West and Oakwood. He is quite spooky but I managed to get a couple of (bad) pictures. Also had a Cooper's hawk in the yard one week ago but it came to a sad end by hitting the neighbour's window when it took off in a hurry.

Wow, that's a good backyard bird! I haven't heard of any reports in Toronto this winter.

Wow. Awesome bird! That street borders my school! I'm surprised I haven't seen it fly by the windows during class  :wink:

We are across from the school. It is keeping safely away in this weather!

With the recent report of the Varied Thrush near Woodstock, I was reminded of your bird. Have there been any more appearances in your neighbourhood?
