Re: [SBB] Charcoal Road Trail

[Kristen Lutomski <[[email protected]]>]

We're brand new to this list and would like to thank Kathy's tip (thank you!!) for our very first Varied Thrush sighting at Charcoal Rd.  We positively ID'd about 3 of them among the robbins dining on berries, and one was even kind enough to pose for a (very blurry) photo!

 

We were there from about 10am-noon on Monday, so we probably missed the morning rush of thrushes.  Hoping to head back to catch the rest of the sightings some early morning this week.

Thank you all,
Kristen and Geoff

Charcoal Trail may not always be a good place to see varied thrushes. In an hour's walk this morning I might have heard one note, but it could have been one of the scores of robins with laryngitis. The madrone grove partway down the road had only waxings and robins. I saw the rest of Kathy Parker's birds, except the pileated woodpecker was only a calling bird. A sharp-shinned hawk flew overhead when I returned to my car. I caught up with the varied thrushes, feeding with waxwings and robins in another madrone tree, at the Castle Rock State Park parking lot, where a red-breasted nuthatch was also calling.
