Varied Thrush in Blue Earth County
2015-01-21

'Rare Regular' in Minnesota - Five or fewer records in Blue Earth County for the Winter season

This is the bird just south of Mankato that was reported on MOU-net. The homeowners are very welcoming of birders. They said to encourage people to knock on their door, since the best views are from their back windows. The thrush shows up primarily in the mornings, but only for brief visits, and is very skittish.
