Hi Alixe Yes this is reportable and you beat me to it! I always look forward to seeing them here at my house in town. When it is cold higher up they seem to come down to forage. I was going through my usual routine to get ready for work and heard their call over the news on the TV. One of my favorite bird calls. (then again now I have to rule out a starling).

This week, for the first time this winter, the varied thrushes are back. I see a male and a female, then I see two more females? or juveniles? with paler breast bands. I live in the foothills of the Callahans.
