There is a Varied Thrush coming to a window feeder in Three Lakes. I was sent 3 photos (no question about it) and was asked for recomendations. There was one in Tomah several years ago that we kept alive by feeding it fruit, mainly red and green grapes and apple slices. The bird is doing well so far, it attackes the window quite a bit, and hope it hangs in there or gets strong and heads out. The owners really do not want visitors tramping around in their back yard. The person is an old friend of my cousins that used to live in Crandon.

On 2/7/13 Les from Three Lakes listed a Red-backed Woodpecker at his feeder a week ago. I've heard of a Black-backed Woodpecker and also the common Red-bellied Woodpecker. Either Les mistyped or maybe he has a hybrid species? Just curious. I did hear someone in Three Lakes has a male Varied Thrush coming to their feeder but they want privacy so I wasn't given details. Anyone up that way may want to do a quick check of the ground around visible feeders just in case. Happy birding!
