Hi Misty, the Varied Thrush is a rare visitor to Ontario.
It should be on the West Coast of the U.S or Canada.

Awsome! I hope that it's able to survive here; I know it's supposed to warm up this week to +6 so that might help. Though Feb is still around the corner :(

Great picture. I love Varied Thrushes. Being from Vancouver they are as common to me, as Cardinals are to you guys. However it is a great bird in the east and one that I don't have on my Ontario list.
