The Varied Thrush was seem this morning (1/17) at around 7:30 AM in its usual place --near the east side of the men's room in the Maintenance Field area. It was scratching around in the leaves near the padlocked, green box by the men's room.
Approaching the area at around 7:15 from the east, the first bird I saw was a Cooper's Hawk perched in one of the tall trees. When we were about the leave the Cooper's swooped down, scattered many sparrows, but did not succeed in capturing one. It was a dramatic conusion to An attempt to find the Red Headed Woodpecker near the Sheep Meadow was not successful.
