This week I am featuring the Varied Thrush Ixoreus naevius. Being relatively new to bird watching (a year and a half), I am thrilled to be able to add the Varied Thrush to my small, but growing list of bird sightings. This one, I believe, is the male.
- grayish-blue nape and back
- beautiful orange eyebrow and wing bars
- underparts orange with black breast band
On Friday, he was again by the bird feeders and moving in and out of the trees. Perhaps I will be able to get some better photos in the next few days. I have not seen a female or any other males.

Very nice blog. Specially the picture of birds. Keep blogging on Nature.
Aren't they pretty! Can't say much for their song though. You got much better pictures than I.
Beautiful bird and nice to be able to add a new one to you list.
What a handsome little fellow. Nice captures, April -- especially considering how shy he was!
How fun! I just was able to add the Varied Thrush to my life list myself :) I'm pretty new to birding too. Great catch! My varied thrush pics didn't turn out so nice.
Nice captures of the beautiful male Varied Thrush April! I will be looking for that beauty out there.
This is a beautiful bird April. How lucky you were to see it. I don't think they frequent our area.
