I saw about 30 on my morning walk yesterday, almost topping the robin count. This seems to be when robins and VATHs are willing to eat the leftover crabapples on the trees, though they clearly prefer other berries if they are ripe. </div><div style="font-size:large;color:#073763;" class="yiv6526194832gmail_default"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-size:large;color:#073763;" class="yiv6526194832gmail_default"><br clear="none"></div></div><br clear="none"><div class="yiv6526194832gmail_quote"><div id="yiv6526194832yqt91392" class="yiv6526194832yqt4685280312"><div dir="ltr" class="yiv6526194832gmail_attr">On Wed, Dec 21, 2022 at 5:58 PM Patricia Quyle Grainger <<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:paq@olypen.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:paq@olypen.com">paq@olypen.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;" class="yiv6526194832gmail_quote"><div>We, too, have been enjoying yard visits from Varied Thrushes, with the most being 5 in one day.
