Despite the cold temperatures last week, the varied thrush are making their way north. They arrive in Glacier National Park in mid-March and are noted for their distinctive call. You can listen to it here. This one was feeding on midges along the snowy shores of Jessup Mill Pond in Creston Thursday, about 45 minutes south of the Park. Your best place to see varied thrush in Glacier is along Upper McDonald Creek near the Avalanche Lake campground.
