I live in Dexter OR. I was able to get several photos in my back yard. Looked like a Varied Thrush, with visits here. But was stunned that it had white where the orange should have been. very cool.

I have had one in my yard in Gig Harbor, WA.
It is so pretty.

Arthur Allen says:

Found this White Morphed Varied Thrush going thru the alder chips in my our garden. It’s feeding is different from the orange variety, seems a little more aggressive in its digging for bugs. Only the one as far as we can tell. Does not feed or care about other birds. Very skittish

Arthur Allen says:

Oh yes, we live in Port Angele, Washington

I saw one this morning in Hood River, OR. Very cold and snowy and lots of varied thrush at my birdbath and on the ground.

I also have a photo of this bird sitting next to an orange varied thrush at the birdbath.

I saw what might be the same individual that Nancy Garcia saw also in Hood River Oregon, two days after her sighting.

Just spotted one of these in my backyard feeding with robins and normally colored varied thrushes and cedar wax wings. And this is in bend oregon

Joselyn says:

On 2-3-24 spotted a black and white varied thrush morph under pole feeder in my backyard in Bend Oregon. It was among a group of normally colored varied thrushes. While thrush are not flocking birds, these were attracted to the intense feeding activity of a flock of winter robins and cedar waxwings feeding on the juniper berries and then mobbing the watering stations. I examined the morph with my binoculars to get a good and detailed look before it left the yard. So the identification is correct.
