I heard that it might be a warbler of some kind?

Hi Adam,

I'll have to pass on the ID but on behalf of Admin and the Moderators, welcome to Bird Forum :t:

I'm sure someone will be along shortly who can help out.

Hi Adam,
It's a Varied Thrush,and a stunning example too!
They are a common species on the west coast of North America,and one has even made it to Europe!

Adam,

It is a muscicapid related to Turdus (e.g. American Robin). Variously put in genus Ixoreus or Zoothera. I use Zoothera naevia.

Yep, Varied Thrush (Zoothera naevia), perched in a Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii).

I've even (just very recently) had the opportunity to find out what that white stuff is too, it is something called "snow", and is made of finely divided crystalline rain, formed at cold temperatures, below zero. :king:
