Index of Subjects My advice to other people has always been that if you want to see a varied thrush you should look very carefully at any flock of winter robins that you see. I had a flock of robins a few years ago at an old apple tree across the road. As I sat near a window having lunch I saw a funny looking robin land in a tree nearby. When I put my binoculars on it I discovered a varied thrush. At a distance they act like a robin and can be easily overlooked in a flock of robins.
