Varied Thrush

A little gloomy today, but still nice to get out for a walk. This afternoon’s destination was Brunswick Point. Another location where I have had recent glimpses of my current nemesis bird, the Swamp Sparrow. While watching some Robins at the beginning of the trail,

While not uncommon, the Varied Thrush is still a good bird for this area. Just unfortunate the light was not a little better, but I still managed a couple of shots. As for the rest of the walk, no sign of the Swamp Sparrow or many others for that matter. Another bird conspicuously absent was Short-eared Owl.
