The Elusive Bird

I took this Picture. (It is a little fuzzy but you should have seen the others)
I kept seeing this bird in my back yard at the feeder. I took a ton of photos of it but they were all fuzzy then there it was and sitting very still and for a long time. It was about the size of the average Robin Red-breast.

It is a Varied thrush - Ixoreus naevius
