INTERESTING FACTS

The Varied Thrush defends and maintains small feeding territories around bird feeders.
They are aggressive and dominate many other feeder bird species.
The best clue to this bird's presence is usually its song, which often seems to emanate from the forest itself, and is generally unhelpful to observers wishing to locate the singer.
There is an extremely rare variant of this species in which all the orange in the plumage is replaced by white.
A group of thrushes are collectively known as a "hermitage" and a "mutation" of thrushes.

The Varied Thrush has a large range, estimated globally at 3,300,000 square kilometers. Native to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, this bird prefers boreal or temperate forest ecosystems.
