I was out at Saxe Point (Esquimalt) yesterday at the ripe arbutus tree by the wedding sign and there were 6 birds visiting this tree (along with 2 Varied Thrush, a Fox Sparrow Sooty, and a Spotted Towhee) pecking bugs in the bark and eating the berries. They were as large as Varied Thrush but a little skinnier and bigger than any Sparrow. They would hop back to the ground and disappear under the hedge, then pop back up into the tree. My photos aren't that clear but can you tell me what these are? thank-you. It's the 3 frames following the 3 Varied Thrush shots.
