Varied Thrush
Ixoreus
naevius
Common in King County coniferous forests at moderate to high elevation. Absent from Puget Trough lowlands where historically present prior to removal of original forests. A few birds linger in lowlands into May, but no evidence of breeding recorded west of forested Cascade foothills. In western Kittitas County, fairly common to locally common in moist, high-elevation conifer forests, but much less common at higher elevations of Wenatchee Mountains away from Cascade crest.
