Varied Thrush in Dakota County
2012-01-30

'Rare Regular' in Minnesota

The Varied Thrush reported in Hastings. Many thanks to Richard, one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, for opening his yard to birders. What a thrill to see this bird, whom his wife and he have named "Homer." The bird was cooperative, coming in and out of the tree with juncos, finches and tree sparrows.
