Thrushes are one of my favorites, the "Drossel" part in my alias is the German word for thrush too 🙂 They are just so entertaining and expressive. And they have been very cooperative today. The Swainson's was back in the morning, and then a whole flock of Robins visited. A good Sunday.

A lovely garden visitor, the varied thrush takes an iconic bird silhouette and says 'what if there was more ORANGE?' and that's the kind if twist on a classic I'm here for, nature! This one is pecking around under some bracken, a common sight in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. In my shop now!
