[mou] Varied Thrush seen in Falcon Heights

[Ann and Manley Olson]

  I saw it about 3:30 at the yard on Howell & Prior.  Last reported 
there on Jan8. It was feeding in the apple trees with about 15 
Robins.There were also about 15 Cedar Waxwings there.No Bohemians.It was 
seen by several waxwing seekers including an ornithology prof from Yale 
and by a couple of birders who were looking at a nearby house for 
sale.There are many Cedar Waxwings in the area.I saw at least 75 today 
and at least 40 Robins.
To reach the area take Roselawn to Prior.Follow Prior as it winds for 5 
short blocks until it deadends at Howell.The house is on the Northwest 
corner of the intersection.The bird is most often seen from Prior.The 
homeowner is aware of the bird and welcomes birders but does not look 
for it and may not know if it there.
