A New Backyard Visitor


Steve and I look forward to this time of year because this is the time that all the flowers begin to bloom and the birds return. This past month Steve and I were surprise to find a new backyard visitor.... a Varied Thrush. He is an absolutely beautiful marked bird. At first glance one might think they are looking at a Spotted Towhee, but the marking in the face is quite different. The Varied Thrush actually has a black mask over his eyes. Pretty awesome, huh?
