Aha!

Well, it isn’t the most colorful bird I could hope for but I knew if I waited long enough something other than a little brown bird would show up in my yard. This is a Varied Thrush (Ixoreus naevius); not exactly a rare bird, but who cares. He’s quite handsome and he stood still long enough to photograph.

If you want to see colorful, check this post by gormac/Birds and Boats, here. I know one of these will never wander into my yard and I may never make it to Australia, but it certainly is enjoyable to follow other blippers who post the amazing creatures in their worlds.
