Varied Thrush

I was looking out our bedroom window and saw these birds eating the apples. My husband went to get the bird book and discovered they were Varied Thrush. We both went running for our cameras, I took this with my 100 mm macros lens, not bad through a dirty window. Hubby had the 300 mm lens.

One of my favourites - a bit of colour in winter.

Great flash of colour.

Lovely color. I would've liked to have seen a wider angle, but maybe you were shooting with a fixed lens?

Barbara, it was a fixed lens I used.

It's a pretty bird. I don't think I have ever seen one before.

That is one beautiful bird and a great shot. The dirty window didn't get in the way at all!

I love the call they make. More often than not, I hear them up at the cabin but than see them. Thanks so much for adding me to your blog list. I get lots of visitors from your referral. - Margy
