I owe you all a big MEA CULPA! I just got an email from birders (Connie and Marlin Andrus) who visited the oasis today and saw the thrush. I thought sure it had left, and removed the corn feeder I had out for it. I've been in Alpine ever since the 17th when I last saw it. I'll go down in the morning and put out food for it. So sorry. It did make it to its 4 month anniversary after all.
