These secretive and migratory birds can be seen during the winter and early spring before they head back to the Pacific Northwest where they spend the summer. Recently, while we have been going up and down the canyon road to Whale Point we surprise these birds and get a glimpse of them through the redwood branches. I was able to sneak up on this individual and get a couple of blurry shots in the shade of the redwood forest. Varied thrushes have a mysterious song that is like a whistle overlapping a hum.
