My plans to stay home today and catch up on the stuff I’ve
been putting off were changed by the appearance of the Varied Thrush.  The Parma Heights thrush showed up only 7
miles from home at the Kassouf’s back yard. 
I saw the email around noon.  When
I got there I was told it headed down the road. 
I searched but did not find it. 
With Haans’ encouragement that this species is a creature of habit and
was likely to return I hung around.  And
with lucky Irene Krise on site the odd’s got better.  Invited to warm up at the Kassouf’s, Karen
again spotted the celebrity in the backyard.

Thanks to Karen and Rich for their hospitality and
congratulations on accommodating a wonderful bird!
