[EBB Sightings] Varied thrush photo ops?

Hello all,
We all know now that we are seeing the biggest Varied thrush irruption in 
many years. I would love to take advantage of this opportunity to get a good 
photo of one of these gorgeous birds. Even where abundantly present, 
however, they tend to be furtive and not nearly as bold as their robin 
cousins. So I ask: has anyone experienced a situation where you thought, 
"Boy, if I had a camera right now I could get a terrific photo of this 
bird." I am wondering if perhaps there are locales where the birds appear to 
be less shy, more comfortable out along a forest edge, etc.

I don't want to harass the thrushes, of course, just hide out in my car or 
behind a bush and capture a few images.  Thanks for any suggestions.
