(UNMASTERED, recorded on 2021-04-27) The Varied Thrush, Ixoreus naevius, is a wisp in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Singing its songs from deep within the trees, difficult to locate in somber reverberate, its voice seems to emanate from the forest itself, crying, "Listen. Listen. Listen."

On rare occasions, such as today, you may be graced with a visit while on a recording journey.

Sharing the stage today is a Wilson's Warbler, almost begging the Varied Thrush to come forward to be witnessed.
