Sadly, I must report that they had to put the female down. With the right vegetation, this bird will show up in our yards. I put 2 berry bushes/trees in our yard here at El Presidio.

Yes, I had heard that--so sad...maybe loved to death? I'm putting in more fruit-bearing shrubs in Bisbee--raspberries, blackberries and blueberries!

That's wonderful! They will eat them up that's for sure! After that first cold snap, they all start feeding as the berries are made to perfection.

Enjoyed the bird photos. The very first Varied Thrush I saw in AZ was in Bisbee so I'm sure one will find your yard.
