Eric Runfeldt and I visited Carolyn Ohl's Christmas Mountains Oasis this
morning in hopes of seeing the Varied Thrush. We were NOT disappointed, the
bird stood there and watched as I placed grapes on the toothpicks, and as
soon as I turned to walk away, the bird grabbed one. It revisited the grapes
about every 30 minutes. A few of the photos I took are here: Varied Thrush
