Varied Thrush Range Map
The Varied Thrush is most common in the dense wet hemlock, fir, and spruce forests of the Pacific Coast, from southern Alaska to California. Populations are especially dense in the Snoqualmie National Forest of Washington State and in Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island. Some seasonal movement away from the most northern part of its range occurs, although a few may linger, suffering through heavy snows. There is also some movement from higher altitudes. After the breeding season, a somewhat wider variety of wooded habitats are used, and the birds may even become bold enough to visit bird feeders. Amazingly, this bird of the Northwest occasionally strays as far east as New England in fall and winter.
