Range Map for Varied Thrush

Year-roundBreedingMigrationNonbreeding

Migration

Short-distance, partial migrant. Some coastal breeders stay in one place year-round, but inland breeders migrate south in winter. Northern breeding populations may “leapfrog” past southern breeding populations, wintering farther south. In many winters, a few Varied Thrushes move erratically and appear in the Midwest and Northeast, far out of their normal range.
