Varied Thrush

Southern Vancouver Island

A large, robin-like thrush of the Pacific Northwest, the Varied Thrush is a characteristic bird of the mature, dark coniferous forests. Wandering individuals turn up regularly far from home, wintering around feeders in the midwestern states. Males, but only rarely females, defend and maintain small feeding territories around bird feeders. They are aggressive and dominate many other feeder bird species.~ All About Birds

What a fabulous shot! Reminds me of when I lived on the west coast and had these varied thrushes at my feeder, and a garden full of rhodos! V
