2nd hand Varied Thrush, Crawford Co, 8 Nov

[Caleb Putnam]

All-

Craig Kasmer of the Michigan DNR just informed me that a Varied Thrush was 
seen today, 8 Nov 2006, by him, at the feeding station at Hartwick Pines 
State Park.  Strikingly, this is nearly a year to the date that another 
Varied Thrush was seen at exactly the same spot.

>From Grayling go north on I-75 a few miles to Highway 93, heading east off 
the exit a couple miles to the park entrance on the left.  Upon passing the 
booth take an immediate right which will take you to the visitor center.  
The feeder at which the bird was seen is on the backside of this building, 
and it is visible both from inside the windows and outside on the deck.

In other news, yesterday I had a first cycle Iceland Gull at Lake Missaukee 
in Lake City, Missaukee County.  It was visible from the parking lot on M-55 
just south of town, loafing about 150 yds offshore.

Good birding,
Caleb Putnam
