Ixoreus naevius
Jan 6.
Univ. Calif. Campus, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
Clear morning, frost on ground. 9:00 AM. Was
surprised to see two Varied Thrushes on the lawn N of
the museum. Robins also present seemingly
paying no attention to the thrushes. Foraging of the
latter in this instance was similar to that of the
Robin, the birds running forward a few steps,
stop[pi]ng to listen or to pick at some object.
Howard Cogswell mentioned that the two birds had
been present for several days since onset of a
recent cold wave.
Jan 17.
Noted one Varied Thrush at edge of lawn north side
of MVZ at 1:30 PM - clouding in from NW, weather
warmer in past week.
