We have also had two pair of Varied thrushes! One male was the victim of a
window strike, which we think was caused by a Sharpie that’s been hanging
around in the trees near our feeders. The thrushes seemed to arrive with the
many robins that have been feeding on our neighbor’s holly trees.

Lew and I had that conversation last week! However we’ve had 2 pair of
Varied thrush for the first time in 10 years which is excellent compensation.

My husband and I were just discussing the fact that we have not had a single
Townsend Warbler this winter.
We live in Milwaukie, Jennings Lodge area.

Dear Obolers,
I just had some excitement as a very colorful
bird landed on the suet with some Bushtits. It only lasted a moment, not
long enough for my rational mind to kick in and look for specifics. I'm not
that familiar with Warblers, and since it's been a few years since I caught
sight of any around here, my memory isn't fresh. It had bright yellow
markings on the head (crown), but not the yellow I would expect to see
elsewhere, on it's breast or flanks. It also had bold black and white steaks
on the wings. I don't recall seeing streaking on the flanks.
I will keep an eye out for it, to look for
peticular markings. It didn't look like other Townsends I've seen, but I
don't know how much variation there may be.
