You & the others with varied thrush are correct, thank you! I wonder why they only hang out around the evergreens (not enough to call an urban forest) now when the range map has them in Western Washington all year.
This blurb is certainly accurate from http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/200/_/Varied_Thrush.aspx
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.
I hope one day we'll see one of them!
