Just received an email update from Lynnette, the VARIED THRUSH (gorgeous male) WAS PRESENT TODAY (thursday) in her backyard. Here is previous email I sent a few minutes ago with address: 
 Jim McCarty received an email today with several photos attached of a STUNNING adult male VARIED THRUSH in the backyard of a condo owner, Lynnette Stevens, in Avon Lake. Lynnette has secured permission from the condo association owners to allow visits to the area. While the bird is NO LONGER present as of Monday in her backyard, the address to use is: 401 Bounty Way #163, Avon Lake.The bird could still be handing out in the immediate area. PLEASE BE EXTRAORDINARILY RESPECTFUL of the residences and condo areas if you decide to search for this bird in the immediate region. Varied Thrush will often join American Robin flocks and will visit fruiting trees as well as spending quite a bit of time foraging on the ground around spruces and pines. Photos to be posted later at northnw.wordpress.comJust because Lynnette has not observed this bird in her immediate small backyard, since this past Monday, does not mean it is not hanging out within the area. Typically wayward Varied Thrushes stick closely to certain close territories. BEST OF LUCKjb
