[EBB Sightings] Varied thrush in Huckleberry

Varied Thrushes continue at Huckleberry Preserve in Oakland. There were at 
least six of them along the section of the Skyline Trail which links 
Huckleberry Path and Huckleberry Trail (at least I think that's the correct 
name for it). Most were, as usual, not well seen, but one very bright male 
was out on a bay tree with a Tanoak acorn in his beak. Since I don't think 
thrushes eat acorns, I can only conclude that he was trying to figure out 
what to do with this gigantic hard-shelled berry he'd picked up.
