Varied Thrush On A Snowy Day

Description
As snow falls around him and covered in snow himself, a varied thrush (Ixoreus naevius) sits on a snowy branch. In this image the small orange bird is shown ruffling and lifting his feathery wings in preparation for a possible take off.
The haunting songs of the Varied Thrush echo through the dense humid forests of the Pacific Northwest. Long minor-key whistles repeated after deliberate pauses, they seem like sounds without a source; only a careful searcher will find the bird itself. Although it looks superficially like a robin, the Varied Thrush is far more elusive, usually feeding on the ground among dense thickets. Typical of the far west, it sometimes surprises birders by straying all the way to the Atlantic Coast in winter.

O000h, I love your little Thrush. Haven't seen them here this winter.
Joy McAdams replied:
Thank you Sharon. I know they are around here, but I have never personally seen these little birds until two days ago, With our recent snows (appropriately dubbed Snowmageddon) it was a real treat to lay down the snow shovel and take a series of images. Maybe yours flew north to visit me? LOL
