Can't remember if I've posted this here (too many outlets these days...) but 
it's an exceptionally good Varied Thrush year in the state. This Three Lakes 
bird marks at least the 17th in Wisconsin this fall/winter and I'm following up 
on #18 reported to eBird yesterday from Ozaukee County (update to come when I 
hear back from the observer). One Ashland County home is even hosting 2 birds 
simultaneously, which I don't ever recall hearing of previously.

Here's the eBird map (minus the Three Lakes and Ozaukee birds, for now):

Dennis, if you could backchannel me the date, location, observer and possibly a 
photo of the Three Lakes bird, I can enter into eBird with the rest of the 
sightings. Thanks!
