So much fun to watch expert birding enthusiasts in almost real time exercising their craft and methodology. Thanks very much for the excellent and informative videos!
I had the pleasure of seeing a male Varied Thrush for a brief minute a couple years ago, in Shawano. Was pleasantly surprised by this less likely visitor. Glad you guys got to see one, as well as the other species. Great video!
You know, I lived in WA for a while before I became an active birder. I saw lots of species I never had seen before moving there, but never did see a Varied Thrush. Now, living back in the Midwest and looking at ebird lists from the county where I lived in WA, I don't know how I never saw one.
Glad you found it! I was two days too late. The trees had been completely picked over in that lot. However, an eBirder said they sighted it an hour after I left high atop a tree for a minute and then it flew off and no one has reported it since. Neat area though, worth checking out in the future.
Glad you both were able to see the thrush. When I visited the location in January, a small flock of Pine Grosbeaks flew in and joined the Varied Thrush to feed on berries. Exciting stuff!
Always a treat to see these beauties! Noticed you guys are in the LRGV right now so looking forward to seeing that vid when it comes out (jealous about anyone seeing all the Hook-billed kites.)
Great video! I love the varied thrush too. We have them year-round here (western Washington state.) Also the Swainson's, which isn't as pretty looking but has a beautiful call.
I’ve got to check out Door County next time I’m in Wisconsin. I bet the tip of that County is a CRAZY good trap during spring migration. Delta County, Michigan just across the lake from Door County is great in spring, and that’s where the birds must be coming from.
Been loving your channel, I’ve been birding for ages but you guys helped inspire me to order a decent camera and get into bird photography should be coming in the mail in a couple days!
I finally got my first Varied Thrush here in California only about three weeks ago 🙂👍 My shots were pretty decent, but I would like to go back again to see if I can do better 🙂 Definitely a beautiful bird and my favorite Thrush as well 👍
Honestly there are some pretty birds, like Magnolia Warbler, that are so stunning, but nobody cares about them because they are dime a dozen. But being from the West Coast, I can confidently say that everyone still gets a rush when they find a VATH!!!
I couple days ago I had one come to my feeder. I found this extremely wierd. I thought that there must be a derth of food available causing the thrush to come to my feeder. Whidbey Island, Washington. They are, what I would say, uncommon here.

This is one of the kindest comments we’ve ever received! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch
The song of the Varied Thrush is something I always look forward to hearing, in addition to seeing their beautiful colors.
Wow! Snow Bunting sighting was nice! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always, beautiful bird🐦👌
Their full bellies probably made them inactive. So special I’m JoJo that you got to see such beautiful birds!❤❤❤❤
Hey. You found wonderful birds at your Birding tour. Well done. Greets Stefan

Super job this trip to Door County. Enjoy your adventures birding immensely. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow what a pretty bird! I’ve never seen any thrush in person. Great video thank you!
An American Robin is a thrush

Dang. That’s the worst when you leave and then it’s seen after you leave

I've always wanted to see a Varied Thrush! You guys are so lucky! Congratulations on 10k subs!!! 😃
That was definitely a great trip! The varied thrush was so beautiful- and of course, the other birds too.🙂 Thanks!

What awesome birds! Great vid
Do you guys ever go to Sax Zim Bog? It is a great place to see winter birds and owls. There is also a pine Martin and ermine in the area.
Sure do! Love the bog! th-cam.com/play/PLflNUezclylA_RF-KKSa8F8Hznpi6IzuX.html
Great video!
I've yet to see a snow bunting so that was really cool! Loved Ryan wanting credit!! Just curious - how did the name Badgerland Birding originate?
Haha, it’s a nod to our home state of Wisconsin, which is known as “Badgerland”/The Badger State.
@@BadgerlandBirding That makes sense. I thought it was the cheese state - HA!
@@juanitakelly3082 well, that too

Tufted Titmice is like: :(
I think King Eider is prettier then Varied thrush but that is just me 😭
Probably cuz they're drunk from the fruit being fermented
