Can someone provide more specific details on location. I just picked up 
on this thread and would like to try to see the bird this weekend. When 
tends to be the best times and where?

I was fortunate enough to see the varied thrush just a short time ago, 
at about 2:45, at the Edgecumbe and Eleanor site. It is truly a lovely 
creature--and a lifer for me.

The homeowner had introduced herself to me a couple of days ago, and is 
most gracious about having folks park beside her yard. Since it's an 
unfenced yard on an inclined street, one can park near the SE corner 
(her property) of the intersection, and have a nice view of the feeder 
area in her backyard, while remaining discreetly in the car. I've 
brought her some mealworms, grapes, and dried cherries to feed, and plan 
to bring more. The bird is surely "making the rounds" in this 
well-appointed neighborhood because as she says, he looks healthy and 
well-fed.

She said he's appearing regularly for short forays. If everyone uses 
restraint about driving-speed, parking places, and duration, many people 
should be able to see the bird, without disturbing the neighborhood.

Good luck--Linda Whyte
