Varied thrush drinking: BWPC & SS

I took some pictures of a varied thrush drinking yesterday. Iโ€™m posting them for the Bird Weekly Photo Challenge and Sunday Stills challenge. My previous post, Backyard birding adventures, shows other birds in my yard.

One or two varied thrushes always visits us in the fall season. They travel with the American robin flocks.

You can see how theyโ€™re closely related to robins. To hear the eerie song of varied thrushes, scroll down this page to Songs and Calls.
