Observation details
**Very rare. I looked up from thicket birding and saw a bird teed up over the road about 40 feet away - a silhouette. I put binoculars on it and immediately knew: Varied Thrush. The large bill, orange eyeline, pale orange below, and very light slate gray breastband were the marks I saw to identify it. As I lowered my binoculars and swung my camera up the bird flew, uphill and out of sight. Wing pattern was not seen well, but wings were long and pointed, and flight was direct and strong. Seen at 1528 by small pond along Bayview Dr. After I wrote these details down I relocated and photographed the bird.
